manual to hydraulic clutch

[cris well]

has anyone ever done this?

i'm looking at a 69 250 six and 3-speed manual. i thought about putting in an auto trans or switching to a hydraulic clutch to make it easier to push for daily driving.

i also have a complete WC T5 from an 88 trans am but i think the shifter is too far back for a truck.

can i use the clutch slave and master cylinder from the TA on the truck?

You are right about the F-body T-5 shifter being too far back for these trucks. The usual fix is to replace the tail housing and shifter with S-10 parts, or else run buckets.

There are a bunch of hydraulic clutch conversion threads on this board, and I haven't seen any yet that used the F-body MC. That doesn't mean it wouldn't work of course. Are you the adventurous type?

I used the t5,belhousing and slave from a 84 camaro , the master has two many angles for a truck firewall.An aftermarket 3/4 master from wilwood, a braided line , and adapter to the slave was all very simple to rig. Hope this helps - Bob
