    Description

    Converting from cable to hydraulic clutch release on Ford Modular TKO/TKX swaps solves multiple problems at once. The MDL LF Series External Hydraulic Slave Kit eliminates cable clearance headaches around headers while delivering the smooth, consistent pedal feel that hydraulics provide. This is a purpose-built solution for the specific challenges of mating Ford Modular engines to TREMEC five-speeds using the aluminum TCCM1899 bellhousing.

    The slave cylinder mounts directly to the bellhousing and pushes from the rear of the clutch fork, keeping the cylinder clear of long tube headers where cable routing becomes a nightmare. The 0.750-inch bore generates 0.619 cubic inches of fluid volume per 1.4-inch stroke, precisely matched to work with MDL's LF Series master cylinders for optimal pedal ratio and effort. No more heavy pedal feel from worn cables that drag. No more clearance issues that force awkward routing compromises.

    Application is specific to Ford Modular V8 4.6L/5.0L engines using the TREMEC TCCM1899 aluminum bellhousing with the 7:00 o'clock fork opening position. The engineering accounts for the cable fork geometry, making this a direct-fit solution rather than a compromise adaptation. When paired with MDL LF Series master cylinder kits, you get an engineered system that takes the guesswork out of hydraulic conversion while providing maximum results.

    The stainless steel braided line routes cleanly and handles pressure without expansion, giving you the crisp engagement response that cable systems simply cannot match. Installation is straightforward with comprehensive instructions and lifetime technical support from MDL. Made in the USA with the quality that builders expect from Modern Driveline.

    FAQs

    Q. Why won't my transmission go into gear? A. Check your 'Master Cylinder throw distance, it should be 1.4". You may have to adjust your clutch pedal height in the vehicle. Q. Why is my pedal bottoming out ? A. Adjust your clevis and your pedal, balance the amount of adjustment you need between the two until your pedal does not bottom out anymore. Q. My pedal feels spongy and the slave cylinder does move right away. A. You have air trapped in the system, re-bleed the system again, follow the bleed instructions, or see the video on bleeding hydraulics on this page under the Video Tab Q. What type of fluid do I use in my clutch hydraulics? A. DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid only in this application. There is no need for high temp brake fluid. Q. Will this kit work a stock clutch pedal? A. Yes, it will fit an original factory pedal and an OE reproduction aftermarket pedal.

    The bracket won’t fit a tkx with out cutting notches in it to clear the webs. The pushrod was to short and required some help with parts from the hardware store
    Note From Store Owner: It is important that the clutch fork be in the correct loction. If the fork is too far forward to do a shorter pressure plate lever height, the fork will be moved forward. With cable release forks, the ratio is about 3:1. So if the clutch is even .1" shorter, this will move the fork forward .3" at the end. This can be corrected by installing a lock washer under the pivot stud to make is taller. This will correct for the shorter clutch. We provide plenty of adjustment in the Hydraulic cylinder kit, if the adjust can not be reached, it is time to focus on the fork placement.
