Clutch Help.

[Manhattan]

My 8 has a SBC / SM465 / Dana 300 . I'm trying to piece together the parts for a hydraulic clutch. But, I've never had a hydraulic clutch in a CJ... So, I need some guidance.

1. Is there such a thing as a CJ clutch pedal that was specific to the hydraulic clutch? I've heard that the YJ pedal will work with some modification... and that it's just as easy to mod' the CJ pedal... but what pedal?

2. Could you recommend a source for the slave, etc.

Or, should I buy one of these conversion kits (tons on Ebay)... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hydraulic-Cl...#ht_500wt_1026

Thanks!

little older than yours though, so pre verify some particulars...

Last post. The chain one looks pretty cool to though

I never could make up my mind...

With all your swapping though, may need a little deeper research than I've done for ya.

That's a trip - I found that one this afternoon. Solid info. I wish that guy were local ;-)

Thanks for the the legwork!

The difficult part is sourcing the proper pedal...ideally, one from a hydro clutch equipped 80's model CJ. Then it's fabing it to the firewall and lining up the master cylinder. From there, it's simply running tubing from the master to the slave.
Sure, you can use a hydro system from a YJ....just remember there could possibly be a throw issue with the plunger and a mis-matched master cylinder/pedal combination.
