Hi
I am using a spec 3+ clutch and I am getting old.. Would like opinions on using a Hydraulic assist on my clutch.
Have over 600rwhp an the 3+ does the job, but as I get older it seems to gets harder. lol
Not much feel either seems like it on or off. So I am looking at a

401289 - McLeod Hydraulic Slave Conversion Kit (79-95 5.0L; 96-04 GT)
Item #: 401289
$618.66

A install video looks pretty simple. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc-B_ih-ZQY

Seems like it would fix/help the clutch cable problem??

Installed last week, only have a few miles on it. The spec 3+ clutch was more or less either on or off lol. Now it has more feel, so far it is also easier to engage.
The amount of power to push clutch in, seems less, but I was hoping for quite a bit more. I will post again after using it more. Oh this kit does not have the hydraulic throwout bearing...

So it has the ram moving the clutch fork?
Yeah, fork arm ratio may be off now.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

My buddy just put a Mcleod RST twin disk clutch in. It was an expensive clutch, but the pedal effort is way less.
