The included clutch pedal allows for easy conversion to hydraulic, or an automatic car to manual. The kit is easy to use and requires no complicated adjustments or junkyard searches for hard-to-find pedals. Everything is bolted-in followed by bleeding the slave cylinder.
The new HYDRAMAX kit includes a master cylinder, clutch pedal, lines, and a billet HYDRAMAX hydraulic slave cylinder bearing. The conical slave cylinder is pre-bled, dual-sealed and comes with shims to adjust the distance to the clutch fingers for any type of clutch set-up. Included is a billet reservoir to finish out the installation. These kits work with any TREMEC transmission including the T5, TKO/TKX, and T-56 Magnum 6-speed. The hydraulic pedal is also available for purchase separately, with no hydraulic slave.

These clutch/pedal systems are very well made and work exceptionally well… BUT do not believe any of the words in their literature that says the pedal assembly is easy to install under the dash. I ended up having to pull out the steering column and pedal support bracket right out of the car to get everything aligned and assembled properly… a ton of work!!! You need very tiny flexible hands!!
It was worth it, but still a ton of work…
