Hydraulic clutch linkage

For you folks that have hydraulic clutch linkage, are you able to power shift your transmission? And if you can or do what setup do you have? Thanks, AO

Are you having trouble with slow response when pushing or letting off the pedal?If so it could be a function of line and fitting size being small enough to restrict fluid flow which would dampen response.They actually use restrictors in hydraulic systems to tune the speed of some hydraulically operated equipment. Do you have a slave cylinder system or 1 with a hydraulic throwout bearing?

I have a slave cylinder. I thought maybe the throwout bearings were quicker.
I think maybe they are,but I also believe slave systems can be fast enough if set up with big lines and the master is sized properly to get full stroke from the slave.If you have centrifugal assist on your pressure plate you may also be experiencing some compressibility of the fluid due to push back from the assist at high rpm.
