efi302 5speed
 
anyone running 302efi with manual 5speed?was wondering if i could get an idea of clutch pedal length to work the manual cable clutch.my setup at the moment is really stiff.any ideas?also pivot to cable distance or ratio?

I set up a hydaulic clutch. I think it is better this way because of the ease of installation and less pedal friction to opperate compard to a cable setup.
Probly not much help to you though, sorry

yeh thanks.was thinking of that as another option.can you buy a conversion kit or do you have to mix and match?

I modified an existing hydraulic clutch pedal box out of a mitsubishi starion, and just grafted the setup to suit my needs. I made brackets to mount the master & slave cylinders. I would never concider to use a cable setup ever again... hydraulic is the only way to go!

I'm not sure if there is a conversion kit or not, but I do know you can buy master & slave cylinders new and they are not that expensive.

yeh had already thought of things to do along those lines.will look into it a bit more.i figure the slave cylinder needs to move the thrust arm about 40mm,does that sound about right?
