Anybody used a 1988+ hyd clutch and bellhousing for a manual conversion??
Just wondering if this has been done before.
I've used this set-up back in the day on a V8 S-10. Thanks.

Re: Anybody used a 1988+ hyd clutch and bellhousing for a manual conversion??
I just finished doing this.....while looking for clutch ideas, I saw the clutch master in my 1992 K2500 beater truck. It never seemed to have any problems and mounted "flat".
I used a bracket/slave setup from Novak.... I did have to cut a brace on the inside of the firewall to mount it flat. I will be watching for any flex and if I find any, I will make a plate to mount it. I used a simple bracket on the brake pedal with a shoulder bolt. So far, so good.......it isn't on the road yet, but all seems well so far!!! |

I wanted to do this using the straightest "push".....one that didn't sway up and down (my setup does a little) and that is the correct length....if you went further down, your stroke would be too long for the master..... I spent a good amount of time pushing the pedal forward and measuring the stroke at given points..... |

Deuce,
There is another thread in the forum I was reading last week regarding the installation of a hydraulic clutch and 5 speed tranny. A couple of different approaches in the thread. I'm looking to do the same in the near future. |

Here's a link about the hydraulic clutch setup I'm using in my K20.

I've just installed a T56 into my 67, I used a clutch master cylinder like Misled did, but mine is out of a s10 that I picked up for $10 at a u-pull it.
here is some pics of what I've done.. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by slowtruck; 12-12-2007 at 10:57 PM. |

the trans. is a 6 speed out of my 97 TransAm, the clutch master cylinder and line to the slave cylinder is only things out of the s10. Last edited by slowtruck; 12-12-2007 at 11:25 PM. |
