Clutch hydraulics

[MMeier]

With our recent cold spell here (only 98* the past 2 days) my clutch has that funny feel to it had before it warmed up. How are these things fastened to the firewall, don't see any nuts or bolts, is it just attached through the pushrod on the pedal? Also, where do you guys recommend getttting the replacement set up, dealer or elsewhere? We do replace everything at once, correct?

They twist and lock to hold them onto the fire wall



the gen 2s bolt on



You can go to napa auto parts and get replacement parts but the stock setups come with both peices and are easier to bleed since there pre bled and suppose ofly ready to go



then on the clutch pedal there is a coter pin to disconect the rod

I got the heavy duty one from South Bend also. It's for a second gen but it twists in the same way. All I did was switch out the shaft from my pedal with the adjustable one that it comes with. Works great to 4500 rpms.
