Anybody ever put a hydraulic slave cylinder on a Spicer 305XX?

[michigandon]

I've been researching this for months now and think that I have a general idea of how I want to go about it, but I just though I'd see if any of you guys have a writeup and/or some pics that I could take a look at.

Any and all help is, of course, immensely appreciated.

Is your clutch really that hard to push?

Has the cross shaft been greased this milenia?

Mine is softer than my 2002 Dodge cummins with a hydraulic clutch.

If I had to do it I would buy a slave from CNC or any others that have the pedal and hyd res all in one like the VW/sand rail comunity uses all the time. I would mount the slave to a bracket off the engine bellhousing bolts. I would put the slave on the pass side and still use the mechanical linkage in the normal manner. that way a hydraulic failure is not a trip ender.

Here is the kit I am talking about.

CNC, Inc. - Hydraulic Clutch Kit

Just to clarify things a bit...I plan on transplanting one of these trannies into a 1961 International Harvester Travelette. This is a truck that HAD a "juice clutch" setup in it when it left the factory.

AHHH makes more sense now.

I would whack the linkage then on the pedal side and make the remaing stub a mount for a CNC style slave. You should be able to adapt it to your current peddal assy.

I use those slaves for lots of different style clutches.
