Hydraulic clutch conversion tips S I G M A

[rob440]

Hey there,
I am eyeing off a triton 5 speed at the wreckers and I think this gbox is from a car with hydraulic clutch.
Has anybody done a conversion from cable to hydro? What is the most compatable donor?


cheers

if it a triton 2.6 gear box i have never seen one with a hydraulic clutch, ive got an 88 model as a daily and its cable, starion boxes are hydraulic clutches and have been adapted over in the past, there is a thread on the old site that tells you how to do it,

pretty much a bolt in. a little work. mount gear box as normal, you have to mount the slave cylinder onto fire wall, run lines etc, there is a bit more but not sure off hand, head to the old site (archives) and there is a topic that tells you step by step.

There is very little you need to do and it's all in the mounting of the Staz clutch pedal.

Here is the old post.

Cheers.

As the Starion box is a "wide box", so yes will bolt up to any wide block astron or siruis block. (approx 13", or 330mm, between locating dowels)

thanks panda,
got that, narrow v wide. As you know I have a narrow. I think I will destroy this engine and box with abuse then get hold of a better box. Panda I need to ask you sometime about haltach maps ect.

Keep an eye out for what "Just Jap"imports are getting in.There are located at Kingston.(Bris).
I know of at least 2 Starion 2.6 EFI turbo half cuts that have been there in the last 2 yrs.Chances are they will have the hydraulic set up for you.
