Clutch Concentric Slave Cylinders
Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2008 5:45 pm
In connection with the Elan 5-speed transmission must likely we will need to employ a concentric slave cylinder for the clutch. So I thought it would be useful to begin collecting such information -- particularly dimensional data.
Searching ebay I found concentric slave cylinders for Ford, Chevy and Jeep applications, but no hard data. At LocostUSA.com I found several references to using a unit from a Saab 900, specifically cylinder nmbr. 4776308 with throwout bearing nmbr. 8721995. Doing a search on the cylinder nmbr lead me to the following interesting AP Racing drawing,

and the AP Racing web page.

Also, apparently Saab has used several different concentric slave configurations.
