Hydraulic clutch conversion?

Yep
You Got It In One :eusa_dance:

Wrong.........I know this one
 

I was thinking of exactly this myself after the short driveshaft came out of the dif and decided to add a ventilation system to the manual gearbox.

This alteration is not recommended by Marlin (or anyone else for that matter).

As for the answer, this is the new 5EXi -R-A, yes it had to come the automatic version. No doubt soon to be followed by the 5EXi - R-D

Personally I would have just removed the pedal completely, obviously removed after complete assembly then realised you had one pedal too many.

Must ask is it a 4 speed or 5 speed auto you are fitting?

It's a 6speed manual with a hydrolic clutch concersion...

Conversion almost finished, looks good but still got to trial test it yet :cool:

looking good... I way of this stage yet but I'll be planning on doing the same thing, have you used the original type -r cylinder.. ?

:biggrin: Yes :biggrin:
We are going to test it tonight :eusa_pray:
Will post the outcome sometime this evening if all go well :eusa_dance:

We think it works but with out the engine running it is hard to tell (it is a bit on the heavy side) :biggrin:
Plus it needs to be stiffend a bit :wink:

Clutch Pedal Mk2
 

Here she finally is clutch pedal MK2... :cool:

After the first try at the hydrolic clutch conversion it turned out to be far to heavy to have any control over.. :sad:

We went back to the drawing board and came up with another design :icon_idea: , after much head scratching and fettling we finally have come up trumps with a real light and smooth controllable pedal... :biggrin:

clutch
 

That's a superb looking installation big-fella, I think it should maybe adopted by Marlin. I've been a bit lazy and stuck with cable clutch which is ok but not great (slightly heavy). I think one day I might convert.
