hydraulic clutch - Piggy - 28-08-2013
theres no 'transmission etc' section...
so this thread is going in here
Has anyone tried to retro fit a hydraulic clutch??
Looking at it, its not all that tricky.
Would need a late 406hdi bell housing, as they have a hydraulic clutch fitted.
then the real issue is the master.
Either trying to make a 406/206 pedal and master fit or a universal (or again a 406/206 flipped round) one fitted inside the car under the dash
just wondered if it been tried???
I know from experience if you put new clutch arm bearings in and grease them, and use a new cable you can get a nice light clutch but I am thinking ahead to when I got uprated with the clutch...been recommended to go hydraulic so a much heavier cover plate can be fitted to the clutch.

Search for people that do the v6 conversion.
Sure they have to use a hydraulic clutch
RE: hydraulic clutch - Piggy - 28-08-2013
ah thats a good call!
RE: hydraulic clutch - Seb_Ryan - 28-08-2013
Or just do like they do in kit cars, id imagine it would be much easier, should be able to fit that under there somewhere?

RE: hydraulic clutch - Seb_Ryan - 28-08-2013
Just get the cylinders and adapt it onto Pedal? Ive got a single clutch pedal in our kitcar with hydraulic clutch

Ideally it should have been something you considered before dropping engine in. Wouldn't be all that hard to do currently doing a hydraulic setup on the racer although easier as its open and on a bench lol
You'll probably be better off with a kit car remote reservoir type
RE: hydraulic clutch - Piggy - 28-08-2013
yeah but time and money say no.
be long term thought.
need to uprate clutch anyway so box will have to come out
RE: hydraulic clutch - Jenkosowls - 28-08-2013
You'd be able to mount the actual clutch lever mech on a spare box make a bracket adapt the exsisting arm. It's how you mount the pedal ram for it that'll be the problem it's tight both engine bay and up in the dash
RE: hydraulic clutch - Piggy - 28-08-2013
exhaust pipe between mani and turbo comes off easy enough...that gives me loads room back there!
