Is the V6 hydro setup on the 3rd gens the same as the V8 hydro setups? Or are they different?
Thanks in advance for any info.

BTW, I did try searching but couldn't find any info.

I'm assuming you're talking about a hydraulic clutch?

The master and slave should be the same

Stephen's reply is correct. You will need to get a V8 bellhousing and release fork though. You can see the difference between the two bellhousings at a glance, and even though the release forks look similar, the V6 one supposedly has a different throw/angle, along with a different part #.

Thanks. I was looking at possibly buying the master/slave/and hose assembly from a V6 T5 just for a spare and didn't know if they were the same as the V8 ones. The one I was looking at has already sold as a complete T5 swap, but I was just showing interest in case the seller ended up selling some of the components seperate.
Again, thanks for the info though, since now I will know
