Going over to a petrol powered pinto and a 5 speed from a diesel with hydraulic clutch, what is the easiest option  ? Do i modify the type 9 for hydraulic or do i need a cable style pedal box? Thanks folks! |

Diesel type 9 has the long (V6) input shaft I thought?

It's the truck that has the hydraulic set up, the only part of the drive train will be the rear end and part of the prop, so do i stay hydraulic or go cable? Ideas and views please guy's, thanks in advance.

I'd convert the gearbox to hydraulic clutch operation. It will give a nicer pedal, and be easier to do than cobbling a cable setup to the existing pedal  |

That's why I asked abot the car. I'd be tempted to go Hydralic for the reason mk2cossie said. |

On my Pinto powered Corsair I used a Mini (a real one not BMW's fake) slave cylinder bolted to the side of the bell housing pushing the arm forward, very simple.
