What clutch master-cylinder are you guys using for T56 trans
I am finally at the point where I can install my clutch system. Here is a master-cylinder I am looking at purchasing from EBay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tchlink:top:en. Anyone using this setup? Can you post pictures? If not, what are you using, and can you post pics. Thanks,

Re: What clutch master-cylinder are you guys using for T56 trans
Within a couple weeks I should have my brake booster bracket with the hydraulic clutch conversion for the '67-'72's done. It will be basically the same as what I currently make for the '60-'62's. There is a link to the for sale thread in my sig line.

Please post pics when you get your bracket installed. Welcome back! I remember those long deployments. I did Desert Storm in 1991.

Re: What clutch master-cylinder are you guys using for T56 trans
I am going to do a T56 swap this winter. I was thinking of trying to use the factory master cylinder from a 98-02 Camaro. I am not sure yet if it would work, the hose might not be long enough and it mounts on a angle.
Has anybody ever tried this before? I hate to start something and have nothing but trouble. Thanks, Joe |

Re: What clutch master-cylinder are you guys using for T56 trans

Re: What clutch master-cylinder are you guys using for T56 trans
Any updates on some installs ? I really like the wilwood in the first post but seems kinda pricey.

Re: What clutch master-cylinder are you guys using for T56 trans
I decided since I had to pull the body off to do my suspension install that I would go ahead and clean the frame up. I'm about to start putting everything back together. So in the next few weeks I hope to have installed pics

Re: What clutch master-cylinder are you guys using for T56 trans
I ended up finding a master cylinder at an off-road shop here in Vegas. It's made by JAMAR and was $100. I liked that it's all aluminum and black (no plastic). It should look good in my engine compartment

Re: What clutch master-cylinder are you guys using for T56 trans
That looks nice. Do you have a part number for it ? Hard to tell in the picture how you are mounting it to the firewall. I'm assuming your not running a booster.

Re: What clutch master-cylinder are you guys using for T56 trans
When I get home I will check my receipt for part #. I'm using this master cylinder for my clutch so no booster.

Sorry. I'm on the hunt for a brake master and just got confused.
