I have seen several hydraulic clutch kits for the foxbody 5.0 with CNC slave but not come across one for the SN95. The foxbody kit will not work since the clutch fork is at a different angle.

Has anyone converted a 3.8 V6 with T5 to an external slave hydraulic clutch ?

What external slave did you use ?

What master cylinder ?

One thing concerns me is that the SN95 clutch fork is longer than the foxbody. It would be nice to use off the shelf OEM type components. I know the guys with Mazda Miata with 5.0 uses the stock Mazda slave which looks just like the high end CNC slave but at fraction of the cost. The Miata Slave is on $15 on Rock Auto.

Thanks

I can safely say that nobody in the V6 forum has made this kind of modification so you're really sailing into uncharted waters.

Here is the update.

I drilled a hole on the bell housing and looks like the Mazda Miata Slave might work with it. The clutch fork on SN95 is longer but the location of the slave puts it further in on the fork so I think it would be fine. The guys with Mazda Miata have been using this setup for years with foxbody T5 & bell housing. The Miata slave has a little tip which is perfect. All I need to do is drill a small hole on the fork and a custom bracket.

As far as the Master is concerned, I believe I need one from a 1986 Toyota Land Curiser which has 3/4" bore. Its the largest one you get get that is OEM and for less than $20.

Oh, this is the V6 bell housing which I will be using with my 5.0. And YES it does work with the smaller flywheel after I swinged the starter and drill & tap a new hole !!!
