    I'm seriously leaning toward a hydraulic clutch release but I'm not sure of what size(s) mc / sc to get... I am going to install a t5 with a fox body bell so I know I need a push style slave... I've found some calculators for calcing ratios that equate from pedal travel to slave actuation but I don't know how far the fork needs to move to release the clutch so thats pointless... Those of you running hydraulic clutches with a t5 and a mustang cable style bell could you let me know what master/slave sizes your using and how does it feel and hows the pedal travel? I keep hearing referances to a 3/4"MC to a 7/8"SC but I would like some first hand accounts... also if you have any pics of the setup available that would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

    I suggest that you use the same sizes as the fox body.

    I thought the fox body mustang used a cable...

    jmgford,
    I managed to find a picture of the slave but I can't really see how you would mount it... Do you have any pictures or details from that setup? how did you mount it to the bell/transmission? thanks.

    I have seen afew OEM push style slaves that look just like the CNC part but I can hardly ever find the bore and never the stroke for them... Like this one;

    I have that article downloaded... Thats where I got the 7/8"sc and 3/4"mc. So did everyone here pretty much use that setup and master:slave cylinder sizes? thanks.

    I posted a thread a while back with pictures of a frankenstein-like hydraulic set up I did. I built all the brackets and such. I used wilwood puller slave and wilwood master. I can't remember the I.D. or PN# of either but, they were off the shelf parts. My clutch feels like a modern car and only one leg required to hold it down! Just make sure you put the master cyl as high up the pedal as the master cyl body, stroke needed and, other parts of the car allow.
