Default Re: CLUTCH, Hydraulic vs Linkage

Are guys running '93 thru '02 Camaro/Firebird using hydraulics in SS? Or does somebody fabricate mechanical pedal/linkage packages? Can't come through the floor, still has to be a swing pedal, right?

Don’t worry you are not ruffling my feathers Maverick... We had a hydraulic clutch in my car when we originally built it and we are much happier with the mechanical linkage we have now. I was just trying to show the good side of what we use, as the title of the post says Hydraulic vs Linkage. You are right I just plain don’t like the idea of a hydraulic clutch.
I do applaud you for running a clutch car in SG, that’s pretty neat!

Ed,
Last I heard we still have to use the swing pedal and it can't come through the floor. On our 94 Camaro stocker we fabricated a bolt on linkage that used large heim joints that held the Z bar to the fire wall. You thinking of a stick in the LT-1??????

The LT4 is a soft one, but has to be a stick.
