Anyone ever converted to hydraulic clutch?
 
I was looking at a wrecked 89 camaro today thinking the 5 speed tranny would be a nice touch to my truck, has anyone ever converted their truck to use a hydraulic clutch instead of the old mechanical linkage?

I put a Camaro T5 into a 68 used a 85-87 3/4-1 ton truck master cylinder had to submodify the rod and shorten it but other than that pretty simple

If you do get a camaro trans keep in mind your gonna have to do some riggin on the line since they use a plastic line

I put a 5 speed out of a 96 1/2 ton pickup into my 72. The hyd cyl mounted behind the brake booster but ---booster bracket required shimming---had to rig clutch linkage to work ----had to cut new hole in floor hump----had to have drive shaft length adjusted----have to run without speedo do to the late model elec sensed pickup on trans. Make sure you allow for shifter position as some are real close to seat--depending. Mine is way up towards heater vent. Most hyd clutches have a real easy pedal---mine is real stiff--don't know why--?! :confused:
