[ollykiwi]

anyone running 302efi with manual 5speed?was wondering if i could get an idea of clutch pedal length to work the manual cable clutch.my setup at the moment is really stiff.any ideas?also pivot to cable distance or ratio?

I set up a hydaulic clutch. I think it is better this way because of the ease of installation and less pedal friction to opperate compard to a cable setup.
Probly not much help to you though, sorry

yeh thanks.was thinking of that as another option.can you buy a conversion kit or do you have to mix and match?

I modified an existing hydraulic clutch pedal box out of a mitsubishi starion, and just grafted the setup to suit my needs. I made brackets to mount the master & slave cylinders. I would never concider to use a cable setup ever again... hydraulic is the only way to go!

I'm not sure if there is a conversion kit or not, but I do know you can buy master & slave cylinders new and they are not that expensive.

yeh had already thought of things to do along those lines.will look into it a bit more.i figure the slave cylinder needs to move the thrust arm about 40mm,does that sound about right?

olly,
i have the cable setup and it is very easy, had cable made to length, the only prob i had was to close to exhaust, melted a couple cables sorted with heatshield all good now .
ps motor and trans from x-r8

hey dbn04
.mine is same setup.looking for pedal length and pivot to cable if you changed it much.i have used the xr8 pedal but shortened it.i may have to go back to original length to ease the leg strain.how bout you?
