Hello, great video. It explained allot of options that will help on my build. Which is a 1993 Suzuki Samurai that I'm installing a t5 into. This transmission will be from a 1996 chevy s10. It should mate up to the supercharged 3800 v6 that will go in soon. I've got all the other mounting figured out, just not the hydraulic clutch. The Sam came with a cable clutch that comes out above the brake booster. Connected to a crossover shaft sitting above the gas pedal. There's no room for a clutch master there so I need to go more toward the fender side where there is a small place. I just need to build a shaft off the left side of the pedal that connects to the hydraulic master and hopefully get a good ratio. If I can't mechanically then hydraulically I can change the ratio by using a different master. Thank you for helping me understand this. I might ask you some questions about it in the future.
Any idea what headers / car is in the 94+ example picture? 1965 Mustang here, and the headers I have are really close. I've massaged the collector so there's about an inch of clearance. Hoping between that and the DEI hear shield on the collector, it will be enough.
20 years of selling them I have only had one person have header clearance issues. He had a set of try ys but I ran a set with no issues so I think it depends on the brand. The headers need to clear the bellhousing so there is a void behind the leading edge for the hydraulic slave and bracket. Email me through my website and I can send some pix with measurements.
Have you ever tried to use some of your kits in older trucks ? I have a 83 F100 so I’m just curious. Looking into doing a 5 speed swap to get rid of the 3 speed no overdrive trans.
I personally have not but I have sold lots of kits to F100 guys not sure the years. usually they buy the universal kit specific to their transmission, the master cylinder and the line kit with the 36" upgrade. Not sure what was involved in mounting the master to the firewall and connecting it to the pedal but I know it can be done.
@@dazecars I’ll definitely be in touch then the 83’s have an outline where the clutch master goes on the firewall. I’ll just need a pedal assembly and a kit. I was just curious. I appreciate the reply !
I don’t offer any information or kits with a hydraulic throw out bearing. I don’t like how they feel, how leak prone they can be, and the fact that the transmission must be pulled if they fail so I have not done anything with them.
have you learned anything ? i am trying to set up my car with a hydraulic throw out bearing and cant find info on the pedal ratio .. i`m gunna start at 5 to 1 ..
I know you are asking him but I have some input here. My advice with any hydraulic clutch is to always maximize pedal ratio. In a perfect world you want full pedal stroke (fully up to just short of hitting the floor before the master bottoms out) This will create the optimal pedal ratio. If the master bottoms out at half stroke or several inches from the floor that indicates less pedal ratio and will result in more pedal effort.

if question come up, ask away. Either ask here or contact me directly through my website.
I been with you since Mustang Steve days.
Glad to hear it!!!
Very well explained.
Thanks
Hello, does the 2-amp variac device with a diode bridge operate the treadmill and not break down?
most treadmill motors are 15-20 amps so a 2 amp variac is going to be WAY to small

sounds good, I also am good at trouble shooting should the any issues arise.
How about a setup with hydraulic throughout bearing

Math - the only solution when the problem involves physics. 👍👍😎👍👍
The epitome of my life, every thing is quantifiable and numbers don’t lie 😂😁🤣
