I am trying to set up a T5 trans with a hydraulic system. I do not think I am getting enough travel. Does anyone know how much the stock cable travels when the pedal is completely depressed?
To clarify a bit more... I am installing a 302 w/ a T5 in a Triumph TR6. I am trying to use the original TR6 master cylinder, however it is only giving the slave cylinder 3/4" of travel...which is not enough to realease the clutch. I will have to resize the master or the slave to get more travel. But I do not know how much more I need. I am using the stock mustang ('90) clutch fork. I thought the cable measurement would be the easiest to get, but I would take anything at this point, as long as I know where the measurements were taken.
If you want comparisons, try the classic forum. A bunch of those guys are using hydraulic conversion kits w/t-5's and would have a good idea of how things are supposed to be.
interesting thread and project. Although I've got no experience with hydraulic clutches, I'd say the stock clutch fork on a 5.0 mustang moves several inches.
If you want, I could crawl under my 86 tomorrow and stick a tape measure up to it while someone depresses the pedal. 3/4 def is not enough.
