Hydraulic Clutch Conversion

[Michael H.]

If you're not concerned about originality, check out the article I wrote in the recent issue (April 2004) of "Corvette Enthusiast" magazine on converting from mechanical clutch linkage to hydraulic clutch release bearing. You can eliminate all the cross bars, springs, bosses, etc. and free up a lot of space in the engine bay. If you'd like, I can send you a copy of the article in Adobe format if you provide me with your e-mail address.

Mike:

Another advantage is that the hydraulically-actuated clutches are so much smoother than conventional clutches practically eliminting that annoying "clunk" you experience when you're not quite "on" with the clutch timing. I once owned a Pantera that had a hydraulic clutch and it was smootn as silk!

Re: Hydraulic Clutch Conversion

I installed the hydraulic clutch release bearing in my '63, but I believe it will work for any Muncie or Saginaw transmision. Check with Howe Enterprises website to make sure.
