Hydraulic Clutch Conversion

[Wageslave]

I am in the process of swapping a manual into my '83 El Camino. I have the transmission, but am not sure how to proceed on converting over to a hydraulically actuated clutch pedal. There seem to be so many different ways to go about this that I am not sure how to approach it. I don't have the option to the option of using a mechanical clutch setup due to no provisions on the transmission.

I would prefer to stick with GM parts if possible but any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

More info would help. What engine and transmission are you using?

I have a 1 piece rear main seal 350 and an NV 3500 out of an '02 S10.

i would use the clutch pedal and hydraulic setup from sickspeedmonte.com

That's exactly what I need, thanks!

I used a speedway hydraulic throw out bearing and a f body master and reservoir with a an4 to f-body fitting I found on eBay Malibu repop petals made my own backstop and welded a bracket to the petal for the long f-body rod all because I have a bbo with hooker headers

I drilled a 3/8" hole in the firewall used an appliance foot with two nuts with washers under the nuts to lock it in place as the stop for the clutch pedal...'

That looks a lot easier than what I did

How is your pedal feel with that setup?

How is your pedal feel with that setup?

I need to brace the firewall and I don't like that it doesn't feal like a old school mechanical clutch the car is not finished yet so I don't know about reliability or longevity it's all just trial and error now
