Pics of clutch hydralics please

TrevvyD might be a good one for this
He rigged up hydro clutch on his

[makka]

you could use a race car style pedalbox, or mount the master cyl up under your dash and use the standard pedal

here is a pic of my hydrolic lcutch setup.

does the standard torana rat trap setup type hae a push rod pedal thing??

Now a pic of the slave cyl on the box please

[Evan]

thats the best piccy i got atm, n ill get another 1 tomorws.
reading another thread about the clutches. this one looks like a push clutch, and im kinda leaning towads just making it cable. The commodore one i had on the aussie box was pull cable and was light and good
.

can i make this one a pull clutch ??
or should i just persue with the hydrolic?

[Evan]

heya guys .

here is a photo of the hydrolic clutch at the base of the bellhousing.
havinga look at it today, it looks like there is no way that i can get this to be a cable clutch. the pivot arm is in the totally wrong place.


this is a photo of the kinda pedal im looking for , it came out of my mates hydrolic clutch setup in his torana
is that a torana pedal??

Cheers guys

What an absolute pile of garbage
Evan if I was you I'd not even think about using that hydraulic setup
Looks to me like the slave has no chance of pushing straight in a fit
The master will sit on a stupid angle on the firewall to make it fit too

There must be a better way

[Evan]

hey datto , i was there wa s better way, , i dont believe there is any way to make that a cable clutch.

that slave looks a bit weird , cos the rod isnt positioned properly.when it sits in teh clutch pivot fork , it is much straighter.

got any other seggestions?, but i think im stuck with this hydrolic shit.

Ideally rid yourself of the Holden stuff and use Toyota hydraulics
This way the ratio will be nicer and they will work as they should
What that means is fitting the correct Toyota slave to suit the box
There should be mount holes for it there somewhere on the bellhousing
Need to make sure its pushing straight...... hopefully the fork allows this (hoping its still a toyo fork)
Then you need to adapt a master
TrevvyD (Trev the kiwi. I can give you his phone # off board) can help you with how to setup a system under the dash so you can run a Toyo clutch master to get the right stroke ratio
He did this on his UC hatch with RB30
Its all under the dash so no firewall booster issues.
He said it was easy to do and since he's a mechanic with a workshop he should be able to advise,help or even fit it for you.

Thsi would be what I would do if it was me anyway

[Evan]

heya guys ,
This clutch type setup will reverse.,
will this fit in my 308 LX?

That slave cylinder mounting bracket above is part of the dellow kit but that one looks like it is bent - they should line up properly.

The dellow kit and the CRS kit give you the bits to convert your pedal to the push type needed for hydraulic with a bit of welding. They are not pretty but they do work.

Any other setups with Toyota cylinders etc you come up with - you will be on your own for mounting brackets etc, but no reason to hold you back if you have a better idea.

PM Toranamuk, and he'll give you a description of what you need to convert your current box and bell housing to a pull type UC 6 cylinder cable clutch. From memory, it needs a modified UC 4 cylinder pedal, commodore clutch fork, stock UC 6 cylinder clutch cable, and either the Commodore style Supra box adaptor bell housing, or the one you've got plus a bolt on bracket to locate the cable at the bell housing.

He set one up for me a while ago, and it was a bloody neat, bloody smooth, bloody light system. Far superior to the hydraulic setup for an LX.
