Description
Converting from cable-operated to hydraulic clutch actuation has never been easier for '79-'93 Mustang T5 applications. The LF Series External Hydraulic Slave Kit solves the chronic problems of cable binding, inconsistent pedal feel, and header clearance issues that plague Ford's original cable setup. This engineered solution delivers the smooth, linear pedal feel that hydraulic systems are known for while eliminating the guesswork of clutch cable routing and adjustment.
The kit's design centers around transmission-case mounting, which provides several key advantages over bellhousing-mounted alternatives. By securing the slave cylinder to the solid T5 case rather than the bellhousing, the system maintains alignment regardless of bellhousing tolerances. The cylinder pushes from the rear of the OEM cable fork through an adjustable push rod, providing both header clearance and easy clutch engagement adjustment. The 0.75-inch bore delivers the precise hydraulic volume needed for proper T5 clutch actuation without over-travel or binding.
The stainless steel braided hydraulic line features -4AN aluminum fittings for leak-free connections and long-term durability. An easily accessible bleed port simplifies system maintenance and initial setup. The kit utilizes your existing OEM cable fork with a bolt-on pivot socket, eliminating any permanent modifications to the transmission or bellhousing. When paired with MDL LF Series master cylinder components, this system transforms clutch operation from a maintenance headache into a smooth, reliable performance upgrade.
Compatible with 1979-1993 Ford Mustang T5 transmissions when used with QuickTime RM-6060 or RM-6065 steel bellhousings and aftermarket aluminum bellhousings with similar mounting provisions. Made in the USA with lifetime technical support included.
