Prokiller Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 very nice cluster. i'm really thinking of doing something similar on mine this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1997cobra Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Gauges are the killer part. They are not cheap. Hopefully this thing comes in and proves me wrong, but I think he did not describe it properly. His sale thread said "I have a Florida 5.0 gauge cluster." But it looks identical to my autometer panel. I didnt notice until bryan pointed it out, but oh well. It was still a decent dealAnyways. Looking into what it will take to convert to a hydraulic clutch. I will need a new cable before next year, so now is the time. The motor and trans will also be out this winter with any luck. So I might as well get this project done while the trans is off.So, would it be possible for someone at the CJPP crew to check into something for me?? I need to make sure that there are no other parts included in this kit other than what is pictured. I suspect that there has to be something to stop the TOB from rotating when you put pressure on the pedal.And @Det_Riot has a 3550, does this kit fit , which lists the 3650? Or is it this kit, which is for T-5s and TKOs. We will need to know the exact same thing as above.Basically, the plan is to use the McLeod hydraulic TOB, and a Wilwood master cylinder. The only mystery is what needs to happen to hold the TOB in place. I would GREATLY appreciate it if someone could help Edited September 2, 2013 by 1997cobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1997cobra Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks man! No rush, it's still in the planning phase :-) Posted via Topify using Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildWillyWalker Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I got in touch with McLeod and got some answers. Let me know if you need more information.1. All of the main components are pictured. There are some smaller items not pictured such as a cable that uses the quadrant to pull the master cylinder open and closed. (Honestly, this confused me because I thought the cable pictured is what attaches to the quadrant....)2. The internal bearing of the throwout bearing sits on the bearing retainer like a normal bearing, but there is an o-ring in the center with an interference fit which does NOT allow the assembly to turn while in operation. 3. There shouldn't be any issue using a different master cylinder, as long as the connection uses an AN-4 male fitting. You need either a 5/8" bore master cylinder with a 2" stroke or a 3/4" bore master with a 1.2" stroke.4. You want our part # HCC3 for use with a 3550. The 3550 uses the same clutch parts as the TKO transmissions. http://www.cjponyparts.com/mcleod-hydraulic-clutch-conversion-kit-with-hydraulic-throw-out-bearing-t-5-tko500-600-1979-1995/p/HCC3/McLeod has an installation video which mainly goes over the bleeding process but I liked watching it. However, they show you the cable replacement kit, not the kit with the throwout bearing that you are looking at. This one is about their bearings and apparently you do need to set the initial clearance for the throwout bearing but then it self adjusts.

1997cobra Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) So, if I order just the tob, I will have everything that is needed to put it on the trans, o-ring and all? Or is that a separate part? Posted via Topify using AndroidOops, I'll watch that video, it'll probably answer my question Edited September 3, 2013 by 1997cobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildWillyWalker Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Umm, you'd have to buy just the bearing and I don't remember if we offer it by itself. I know McLeod does though. I believe it would be the 1400 series which is the slip on. As long as you can handle everything above that by yourself (quadrant, firewall adjuster and master cylinder) it looks like you would be goodEdit: I'm 99% sure the tob would come with the o-ring. You can see a separate piece in the picture of the tob when purchased by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
