im pretty sure if there was a kit.. ALOT of people would have them
Why would A LOT of people want them? They are noting but a pain in the ***. I for one would NOT want one. Have you ever changed a hydraulic clutch before? With a regular clutch all you have to do is just replace the pressure plate and the clutch and clutch cable to the clutch fork and you are done. With a hydraulic clutch you have to bleed it until it releases and the slave cylinder is a pain in the ***. I'll stick with my clutch fork and clutch cable.

trickyponey,


hydraulic provides more holding pressure, that means you can pass more torque through it before it slips. Important if you running short final drive and beefy tires. No clutch slippage can make you run faster. You can achieve this with a strong aftermarket spring clutch, but it will cost more and wont last too long, so at some point hydraulic clutch is cheaper and better solution, but only if you need it.


By the way, they advertise that clutch to give more holding pressure, not be easy to operate, so Id contact customer service with questions.

True, but you can buy a clutch to hold as much power as you need. To me, they are just a pain in the *** and I hate working on them.

put a aod, in it, if ur always gonna have knee problems, then no matter what, u will be more comfortable without using that leg. and putting an aod will be a helluva lot easier than trying to fab up some hydro clutch. and putting a cheap cluthc witha soft pedal will just mean u will kill it sooner. seriously my vote is for an aod with nice lentech street terminator and a 3000 stall converter. will be just as quick and no knee problems
