Re: Hydraulic Clutch Conversion 1965C10

Jim,

Good question. I don't know. Mine bottoms out before the end of the master cylinder stroke. Bottoms the slave out I guess. I am using the center pull slave cylinder on the T56. I must have a hard stop, seems to work OK.

Your clutch will be mighty quick with a 7/8" bore. I am thinking of going from a 3/4" down to a 5/8" to give more travel and less pedal effort. Truck is running now and clutch works fine, just a little quick.

Beware!!! The push rod must be close to centered at the bottom of the stroke. I lined mine up at the top of the stroke and then at the bottom the rod was cocked and ruined the cylinder bore and caused a leak into the cab.
Got a new cylinder and lined up the rod at the bottom of the stroke and it works fine.
