Will the hyraulic master/slave cylinder assy fit a 3rd gen with a T5?

 

Alright I know you put LT1 slave/master when you do a T-56 swap and I've searched. But I need new hydraulics so should I get the LT1 T-56 set for my L03 T-5 (slave/ master/ line)?
Part number 12559912 wholesale $92.61
old not used part number 12557509

 

I made the swap about 5 years ago, and it worked.... I know i read something about the t-5 being a "push style", and the t-56 is a "pull style". Dunno about all that. Hope more folks will chime in. later

On the T56, the clutch fork engages the throwout bearing, which is attached to the pressure plate via a snap ring if I recall, and pulls on the pressure plate. Most trannys, like the T5, work differently. The clutch fork is engaged on a bearing as well, and pushes on the pressure plate.

I know you can't use T5 hydraulics on a T56. Other than an inability to bolt up to the T56, I don't see any other possibility why it wouldn't work. Going by that, the reverse should also hold. If all that is correct, then no, the LT1 hydraulics shouldn't fit.

The part number listed is the second design hydraulic setup. I believe the first design (second number you mentioned) is still available from the dealer as well.
