Hydraulic Clutch conversion on LC
#1
Posted 24 February 2012 - 10:39 PM
Can anyone point me in the direction for what type of hydraulic clutch kits are out there? I'm doing an auto to manual conversion on my LC, fitting and aussie 4 speed, and was going to go the good old "rat trap" but everyone seems to laugh when I mention it. Trying to get a good one could also be difficult. A few kid guys from here have a few on offer but it is worth going down that path?
It seems that hydraulic is the way to go so is there a complete kit to buy and do they fit up without too many hassels? Some feedback on places to look at and peoples experience in fitting them would be great. Pics on the set up would be helpful also.
Cheers

Easiest way is actually the UC cable setup
Hydraulic has issues... but seems to be easier on LC-J than LH-X

So what do you need to do to the firewall? Is there a tube like thing that the cable sits in and is there adjustment there?

Now, the next question is which cable do I use? WB, UC, commodore? Are they diff lengths? What did you use? I suppose length isnt an issue, as long as it has somewhere to hook on so I can mod my clutch pedal. Do I need to use a WB as it will mate to bellhousing?
Thanks heaps!

I couldn't get hold of a clutch cable today but had a look on rares website. I did see that the VB/C cable had some adjustment on the cable where the HZ/WB did not seem to. My question is do I need the adjustment on the cable or is the ball in the bellhousing enough? I dont know what the set-up was.
http://www.rarespare...roduct=92017394 (HZ/WB cable)
http://www.rarespare...roduct=92017389 (VB/C cable)
Is there a big difference in length and do I need the adjustment?
Cheers

I was looking at the clutch set up on the 4 cylinder torana and thought that it might be a good way to set it all up. I had a 4 cylinder clutch pedal and thought I had some other bits from one I got some bits off a few years ago..
I got digging, found the pedal and gave them a freshen up.
Bugger me! look what I found!!
I was thinking of using the clevis and cut the hook thing off the cable.
Happy so far and all I need to do is find the right spot to drill the hole for the cable, strengthen the firewall a bit and hope the cable length works out..
Keep you posted..
Cheers
