[QUOTE=hewittca;9171960]I would definitely be interested in seeing how the install goes. I am currently swapping my truck from 3 on the tree to a 5 speed with a hydraulic clutch. You I had to fab up a plate and pushrod to work with my stock clutch pedal. I had no reference measurements, so I based positioning on how much clutch pedal travel I wanted. I have no idea yet what the pedal will feel like.[/QUOTE

Nice job on the plate! Your rod and master cylinder position is quite a bit higher than the SST stuff. There's more than one way to skin a cat!

That's one thing I am worried about with my setup. I really had no idea where I should put the master vertically. I just sat in the truck and pushed the pedal and figured out how much pedal travel I wanted, then put the rod where I would get the correct master cylinder travel for the given pedal travel I wanted. I hope it doesn't end up too stiff. We shall see!

I think you are going to be fine.
SST says their deal is 20% less effort than the stock mechanical linkage.
Even if it's the same as the stock setup that's a win!
Please update once you get there.
