What are my options for a Hydraulic Slave Cylinder for a T-5
I am looking for a hydraulic slave cylinder and/or mounting bracket that will work on my T-5 transmission. The setup from Autoworks is kind of pricey, and I do not want a hyraulic throwout bearing setup like McCleod offers. Are there any other hydraulic slave cylinder options that will work with the T-5. I already have the Girlind?? 3/4 Master cylinder sooo, I just need the slave now. Preferrably something that will bolt right up to the tranny or bellhousing.
Thanks

Custom make your braket to mount it with a 6" section of 2" wide angle iron. Then, go through the catalog at the parts store with all the factory replacement slave cyls for newer cars, find one with the bore and length you need. It might be an odd one, for a ford probe or something. You will need to do a little math to calculate volumes and such.

Willwood makes a pull type that often works with the Mustang bellhousing.

Here's what I did: custom made a bracket from angle-iron just as Mr. Fixit says. Then purchased a CNC push-type unit. There are many distributors for CNC hydraulic products. Here in SoCal, the Off Road Warehouse (ORW) carries them--they are popular with the off-road and street rod crowd. They are inexpensive at $55 and it works much better then the Girling it replaced.

... you can also look at some of the older BMW slaves used. Go to a junkyard to get some ideas on sizes and shapes, then you can buy one or rebuild one to customize and try from there...

This may sound like a silly question, but why do you want hydraulic, rather than cable. The T5 bellhousing is made for a cable pull. Cables, particularly the aftermarket units like BBK are frictionless and trouble/maintenance free. You need to modify the cable quadrant to fit on the Cobra clutch pedal. And you can do final adjustment, and clutch wear adjustments from the firewall.
