Hydraulic Clutch Linkage FAQ Index
We carry complete solutions for hydraulic clutch conversions for classic cars. Our solutions are complete systems engineered for compatibility between the master and the slave, whether the slave is internal or external. The master is engineered to provide the greatest amount of pedal stroke at the least pedal pressure. For more information see our hydraulics page.

Which is better, the internal slave or the external slave?
It is really a matter of personal preference and your physical setup. The external slave is less expensive than internal slave. Some people want to push the cylinder away from the header so the internal is their preference. Other people want the external so if anything goes wrong it does not require pulling the trans. For more information see our hydraulics page.
