How hard is it to convert a mech bellhousing to a hydro bell housing? Also does anyo have any write ups of the swap from mech to hydro? After this weekedns adventure im pretty sure i burnt up my clutch....bigok
We had to modify the linkage to the clutch pedal on mine, and add a piece of plate on the firewall so that the master would quit flexing due to all of the rust, and I still need to adjust where the linkage connects to the clutch pedal to keep it from binding. I can't remember what part #'s these are, but you can get them at most parts stores. I think it is a chevy master, and jeep slave (or viceaversa). I don't have any real good pictures of the install, but it is not too bad.
I use the bellhousing from '85-91 465 trannys on my junk. Its set up for hydraulic and then just use the stock master cylinder on the firewall. On my '72 chevy i cut a hole in the firewall for a 91 new body style truck master, and am going to run the internal slave cylinder that on my '97 nv4500.
i am in the same boat as blazerboy i would like to convert to hydro, this mech is getting old fast and my left leg is gonna be in the shape of a 90 yr old man before i turn 21.
Hey man I ended up with 3 hydro bellhousings. Ones got a chip but the other is complete. Let me know if you want it.
