    Hydraulic clutch upgrade

    Attending the build school and I’ve decided to upgrade to a hydraulic clutch for 9422 which is still early in the build. I have already purchased the engine / transmission so I was planning for an external actuator rather than pulling the engine and transmission apart.

    I have the wilwood pedal kit, but what 3rd master cylinder do I need to order for which external actuator. I was told that the size of the master cylinder will depend upon the actuator but I don’t see a kit at Fortes or Breeze or FFR.

    Not Factory Five tech, but I don't believe Factory Five or Breeze sell a hydraulic clutch setup. The kit from Forte is by far the most common used on here. I've installed his several times. His website only has a fraction of the parts he sells. You need to call them to order the kit. You'll need to know the transmission and bell housing, and they should have the proper version that fits your configuration. The Wilwood master cylinder and slave cylinder are part of the kit.
