Re: mechanical to hydrolic clutch swap help
I did the same upgrade on my 82 Trans Am 2 years ago. The car had the BW ST10 with mechanical clutch. Hated it. Everytime i pressed the clutch in, it felt different. When it was a daily driver back in the 90's, i probably lost about 10 years of health in that knee while driving to work in traffic. As i saved for my T56 upgrade, I installed T5 pedals, a Ram adjustable master cylinder and, to continue using the car before i can get a T56, a Ram hydraulic throw out bearing 'concentric bearing' that worked with my BW ST10. WOW was it fantastic, loved it. Easy on the knee, always felt exactly the same as the last press. I've now upgraded to a T56 and as planned, my pedals and mc setup work perfectly with that as well.
