Anyone convert to a hydraulic clutch? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**raidmagic** · 02-15-2018, 03:54 PM

As asked? I'm considering swapping from the cable deal to a hydraulic and was wondering what was needed. I'm getting ready to swap a 350/4speed into the truck and think it would make it a nicer driver. Other than that. What have you done to make the clutch pedal easier to push? It works well, not binding but if you get caught up in traffic it can make you tired. lol

Cool, I asked some questions in your thread.

I recently installed the clutch linkage kit from LMC thats made with the tubing and Heim joints/spherical rod ends. That, and replacing the little fork shaped thing that goes on the end of the rod to push on the clutch fork, as well as greasing everything up, significantly lightened the effort necessary to push in the clutch. Another plus...the clutch linkage doesn't rattle any more going down the road, either!

Interesting. Thanks for that info.

Can this be used on a Super T-10?

I used captain fabs pedal kit with a wilwood hyd master on a T56. Very happy with it. light-med pedal pressure.
