Hydraulic clutch conversion?

[Mustangnut6788]

Hey guys,

I just got a 93 LX notch 2.3L 5spd and planning on driving the wheels off of it. Can't afford to drive the old F-150 anymore I plan on doing a lot of city driving in heavy traffic. So this leads me to my question......

I was wondering if there was a conversion for the standard cable style clutch to a hydraulic style. I would think that would be a lot easier on my left foot. Would a set up out of a Ranger or T-Bird work? If so what years would work and what all would I need? I plan on heading out to the junk yard this weekend to pick up some other parts and thought I could scout around for some other parts.

Thanks!
Nathan

Well...to my knowledge it can be done.

However you would need the complete pedal assembly out of a Turbo Coupe, the clutch master cylinder, the lines, slave cylinder, the correct bellhousing, and the correct clutch fork for the hydraulic setup.

Big problems I see there is that for one, it would be a lot of work, and two, you can't get new clutch forks for the hydraulic clutch anymore. I bought a new one a couple years ago and I got one of the last ones available.

Thanks for the info. What years did they make the turbo coupe?

It only had the hydraulic clutch in '87 and '88. All the other years had a cable clutch.
