The 7.25” Competition Clutch triple organic clutch is much smaller in diameter to clear the Fisch Racing Tech bellhousing. This diameter is a nice middle ground of performance and drivability between a standard 10.5” stock clutch and a super-small 4.5” to 5.5” racing clutch.
Turning towards the Fisch Racing Tech transmission bellhousing, we can see the pre-installed Tilton HRB Hydraulic Release Bearing and Fisch-installed Goodridge lines and fittings that go through the bellhousing itself.
The quality of components, thought, and engineering that went into the Fisch Racing Tech CD009 Transmission Adapter System really speaks for themselves. With easy access from outside the transmission, the hydraulic fluid enters the Tilton HRB through one hose, and is bled externally of the transmission through the other hose.
We bolted the CD009 Transmission to or 13B engine for the first time using the recommended 27-38ft-lb torque spec from Fisch Racing Tech. The starter motor bolt spec is 23-34ft-lb. It was eye opening to see how much larger the transmission is than the engine itself.
We inspected the Tilton HRB bearing to clutch disc gap and found that they were touching and did not have the recommended .170”-.230” clearance when using the supplied HRB 60-1230 piston.

This car is going to be amazing.
Any reason why you didn’t go with one of the Tilton twin disc options?
It was not available at the time and we are excited to see how this organic disc design and technology performs. It has the potential to have smooth engagement characteristics and excellent low-inertia response. Stay tuned for our review.
Hi guys i have a tilton hydraulic throwout bearing/slave cylinder and im using a Mcleod twin disk clutch and Tilton H2B flywheel. I went to bleed the system and the piston popped out without touching the the clutch. It has about 1mm gap with the piston fully extended. What can i do? Where can i get a spacer?
You are going to need to get a longer Tilton HRB piston and/or a threaded adjustment sleeve. Be sure to measure the gap and follow Tilton’s instructions for the fully compressed clearance requirements.
Sorry i forgot to mention its a Honda F20B mated to a B series transmission
Hello Billy.
How did get the piston from the Clutch slave to mount to the clutch pedal?
Did you replace the clevis and eliminate the anti theft switch that was attached ?
I’m doing the same conversion but the threads on the piston on the tilton Slave does not match the OEM thread that mates to the clevis on pedal.
Thanks
