My suggestion would be to talk to Luhn Performance and install a Hydra-boost system like Ford has had on their
Mustangs since 1996. A very light touch on the brake pedal is all that is required. The Power Steering Pump does all of the work along with the Hydra-boost Master Cylinder. That system is used also on a lot of boosted vehicles. Caution, Seat belt and Shoulder belt fastened and tight. If you do a gorilla stomp you will smash your chest on the steering wheel and your face with whatever is in front of it. A VERY VERY light touch is required. KNOWN TECHNOLOGY. Luhn might be able to design a HYDRAULIC CLUTCH SYSTEM like the Hydro-boost brake system normally installed. It would take some engineering though. Tom V.

I've used the Speed Direct clutch rods on a couple of my second gen birds and they work great. Very smooth, and easy to push the clutch in with these rods.

Bill, thank you for joining on and posting. I haven't been on here in a few days or I would have responded sooner. I am going to make my customer aware of this conversation and see if he wants to pursue some of these ideas. Also I will be sending you a private message for your contact information. Steve |

Vertigto thank you for the welcome.
Steve no problem I’ll watch for it. Have been out of town or these would have been posted sooner. Just a few pics to help visualize what was described above. First pics are from the passenger compartment. In my case there is a hand control lever for throttle and braking that the clutch lever is connected too. In the case of the OP the clutch lever would likely best fit to the shifter for convenience. Two fingers operate the clutch. The last pic is the bulk of what is hidden inside the fender. What’s not shown but still hidden is the additional master cylinder and hydraulic lines that connect to the forward side of pictured assembly. The only visible piece under the hood is a small remote clutch reservoir that’s sits next to the OE reservoir. Just want to say again that the ideas posted here from members are impressive. Only wish there were forums like these when starting this project years ago. To the OP, don’t let your client talk himself out of the effort. For someone who enjoys shifting it is a true pleasure in life and worth the trouble. And thanks to you for trying to accommodate him. Bill |
