After reading Harold's write up on the 5spd conversion i am still not sure how to hook up the hydraulics from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder. Can someone please explain how this is connected.

Thanks

 

Email cbr2, he will tell you exactly what to do.

 

There is a slave and master cylinder. The master cylinder is mounted on the firewall directly on the other side of the clutch pedal. The slave cylinder is located on the transmission itself right under the front valve cover and behind the manual transmission fork. Connecting the two cylinders is a steel line (hydraulic line), similar to that of metal brake line. Running inline in this steel line is one bleeder valve, and there is also one bleeder valve located on the slave cylinder. If you get "everything" for the 5-speed conversion from a local junkyard or donor car, you can't miss the hydraulic setup. It is an obvious and VERY NEEDED part of the 5-speed conversion.

 

Check your PM's.

 

I checked my PMs and have none from you, sorry. Also that explanation helps a lot. I am pretty confident when I get the stuff today I will be able to see what you are talking about. One final question just out of curiosity is how does the slave cylinder control the clutch? I always wondered how the clutch is activated just through the pedal?

Thanks for all the help
