fl327 Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 does anyone know what years the chevy trucks used hydraulic slave cylinders? currently using a modified datsun one and want to replace it with something unmodified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 FL, No, what year? Just kidding, hows your clutch setup on that deal? You may try a Neal pull type slave (or push whatever yours requires), it looks exactly like the wilwood slave cyl, I think the neal unit I have (and didn't use on this project, I'll use it down the road somewhere though) was about 50 bucks. I think Jon uses one in his Ford powered Z as well. A bracket is required either on the tranny or engine to make it work. It looks like this: Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Yup, I'm using the Pull type Wilwood. Easy to hook-up. Smooth as silk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Jumbo, What tranny are you running? Is this a directbolt in for the T56? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Tim, Direct bolt on to a T56, nope not at all. The T56 would require a push type which you can get, but this slave is like nearly a foot long by the time you add the rod on there. Maybe shortening the rod and building a bracket to mount to the two studs that hold on the T56 plastic slave might just work, or build a bracket back on the transmission to hold the heim jointed end and have it push on that T56 fork. Either way , not a bolt on, but would probably work ok if you want to engineer it. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted May 23, 2002 Author Share Posted May 23, 2002 im running a 1" tilton mc to a stock datsun slave with modified rod at the end, dont like it, its still kinda riggy like. ive cleaned up everything else drivetrain like, and its time to clean up the rest and im starting here. that thing like humongous, how does that thing work, im not used to seeing aftermarket slave cylinders i guess. mine only had the pushrod side and ther other end has threads for a fitting, you know stock style. that thing is huge, ill look into it, just thought that a chevy type slave cylinder would work easier since some had four speeds already. thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 FLZ327, the slave pic above is a pull type. Sounds like you have a push. In the pic above, the end with the nuts, would bolt to a stationary bracket (I have the heim joint on this end). The end pictured with the heim joint on it is the actual moving piece (piston) and would attach to the clutch fork. In your application, I think the clutch fork moves toward the back of the car to engage, so the pull type slave would have to be mounted behind the fork, on the transmission (or thereabouts) so it could pull the clutch fork back. If you do a web search you'll find lots of diff types available. Both pull and push. I've found some made by Girling that look a lot like the stock z slave. My Ford clutch was a pull type I guess cuz they use a cable linkage, so that was what I needed. I just made a sturdy bracket that mounted level and parallel to the oil pan rail and pointed the pull slave straight at the fork. It was EZ.

Guest Anonymous Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Yeah, the one I got but didn't use (yet) is a Chuck Neal Corp pull type. It looks identical to the wilwood except instead of it being black its anodized blue. I suspect one company or the other manufactures the same product with different paint/finish. Anyway, I got my on Racesearch.com I believe it was. 1" should be plenty for sure, my master is like 3/4". Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
