McCleod hydraulic throw out bearing adjust

Close enough. We're good.

Sorry but no. Using clearance when you mean preload is not "close enough", it's literally two opposite things.

For the McLeod aftermarket TO you need clearance

For the OE hydraulic TO's with a spring, you need preload. Which still has a tolerance, but not clearance.
