Default Corvette ZF 6 speed throwout bearing...DEFINITE answer????

I've searched around and found a lot of different info on a hyd. throwout bearing for the Corvette ZF 6 speed manual trans.

Anyone done this or know of a place where I can get a definite answer as to which one works and how to install it? If I had a buck for every dead thread and different answer I've found, I could buy a T56...

It's a school project (turbo SBC and 6 speed in a Dodge Magnum) so we're going to use it. I'm just hoping to cut out some of the trial and error...

Thanks in advance

McLeod Racing makes a internal Hyd Bearing for the ZF 6 Speed P/N 1345.

Rockland gear is the source for the ZF 6 speeds.

zfdoc.com is also another great resource.

Thanks. Some good info there, but not what I needed to know.

1 Dwn Cam: I should have mentioned I'm converting to a PUSH type clutch. My mistake.

I'm looking at going with a QM or Tilton triple disc and univesal hyd. TO bearing. I have NO clutch parts from the Vette, so all in all it looks like that might be the cheapest route...

The stock C4 hydraulic slave cylinders (and clutch masters too) had lots of issues anyway so something else is preferable.
