T5 Master and T56 Slave cylinder

Alright for all that have done the T56 swap here's a question. I've searched the board about the different issues with 3rd gen pedals and 4th gen master cylinder pedal travel. So my question is - would it be possible to use the original 3rd gen master cylinder with the 4th gen hose and slave cylinder. I'm about to do a T56 swap into an 89 RS with T5.

Thanks John S.

Re: T5 Master and T56 Slave cylinder

I am in the same boat your in and I hope it is as easy as just pulling the roll pin and installing the lt1 line in the 3rd gen master. also I want to know if 3rd gen slave is the same as the lt1, because I know the bolt pattern is the same

When I did mine, I used a new GM master and slave from GM for a 4th gen. That was $160 new with my discount, the pedals I bought for 65 bucks with all the sensors from a 4th gen forums. The clutch feels great, like it should. Alot of people here will mix and match the pedals or the hydros, and then come on here asking why the clutch engauges to high or low, But yet anyone that uses 4th gen pedals/hydros never seem to have a problem. Is it worth trying to save a few dollars, then not be happy, and the end result is your going to have to take it apart again and eventually spend the money anyways?

I found this link for an adapter to make your own hose to make the setup work with out switching pedals :

Anyone try this? I think this is the route I'm going go.
