Explain this to me, most hydraulic clutches are purposly inneffective so that you can actually feel the pedal. On HD equipment with manual clutch the hydraulics are so strong you can't feel the clutch at all. So uh, whats the point of having a hydraulic clutch on a light duty car/truck thats just as hard to push? Yes my 78 3/4 gmc clutch pedal is maybe too much for some people but definatly not worth the effort to convert.
BTW if you do convert you can just use almost any master/slave setup with custom brackets. I would not recomend one from newer than about 97, the slaves are plastic and very poorly made. For those who don't know the way hydraulic clutches work is just like the brakes: you press pedal which pushes a piston in the master cylinder which is say 1/2" big which because of Bernallis (sp?) principle causes the slave cylinder with a bigger piston move out with more force (but moves slower). the slaves piston pushes directly on the clutch fork in most applications. Very simple setup, but not nearly as simple as a mechanical linkage
.
Happy Trucking.
