Re: from mechanical clutch to Hydraulic

That seems like a pretty difficult job. I would imagine you would have to change the clutch fork and make mounts for a slave cylinder. You might have to change the pedal too. What is wrong with your clutch now that would make you look into that much work?

Re: from mechanical clutch to Hydraulic

If you want to go the "easy" route find an 85 and up chevy truck/blazer/suburban and pull the parts off of it...IIRC 85 is when they went to hydraulic clutch. You will need the Bellousing, Clutch Fork, slave cylinder, master cylinder, and the pedal bracket that goes under the dash. I've heard getting the hydraulics bled properly can be a PITA.
