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

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

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

exhaust pipe between mani and turbo comes off easy enough...that gives me loads room back there!
