Anyone know what needs modding on the escos gearbox to fit hydrolic clutch?

 

think u just have to drill 2 holes on the bellhousing to mount the slave cylinder

 

Cheers pal. I have a hydrolic clutch conversion on at the moment but my gearbox has gone and ive just ordered a new one but the guy who is building it wanted to know what was involved with the hydrolic clutch conversion.

 

think i mite do this too.

 

use the centre push type. gets rid of the arm which can cause problems

 

if you are using the out side one wot you will have to do cut of the webbing serports were its mounted and then drill the 2 new holes to bolt it on and a new center hole to clear the push rod and the gator on the slave but you will need to use your old arm as there will be a tit for the push rod to sit into and all so use the old arm with the tit on it to aline were you have got to drill the bell housing . all so you will have to swop out the plug next to were the slave gsoe as most times it will of been moded as you need to get the slave as close as pos . if you need any more info send me a PM as iv done this mod to 2 4x4 boxes and all so to my 2wd T5 box as well

 

very good coversion i,ve done it on the mk1, so light with paddle clutch and cover too

 

Its such a good conversion that it should be the law that all Cosworths have them !

 

im about to aquire a escort cosworth and the clutch pedal is pretty hard. what kind of costs are involved in doing this conversion? many thanks

 

i converted my escort to hydraulic clutch it cost approx Ł 70 max if you sort your own bits

 

If instead of using the BMW E36 slave cylinder you use a Land Rover series 2/2a slave cylinder it has a threaded rod, of M8x1.25mm that sticks out 80mm or so, makes the job even easier, I use a series 2/2a master cyl of 7/8 size with remote reservoir.
Together these two cost me Ł26.56 delivered from wapsipurt on ebay, all in as said around Ł50-Ł70, very very worthwhile doing.

After a mountain bike injury. If I want to keep my car, a hydraulic conversion is a must. What other parts are required? Also is it straight forward enough if mechanically minded? Does anyone have any pictures or step by step guide please, or anyone just south of London that does the conversion? Thanks

 

yes it should be law mike

 

anyone got any pics of this as i might do it while engine and box are out.

thanks scott
