Hi. Anybody try to do a hydraulic clutch conversion for this swap? I heard that a Chevy 6 bolt flywheel could be used except for the one offset bolt hole that is used on stock AMC flywheels.tnx

Jimster70 let me know about your hydraulic setup. I want to do a T5 with hydraulic clutch setup in my Matador. I want to use a slave cylinder as opposed to a hydraulic throw out bearing.

THANKS!

Yes the picture is up side down I have others but can't figure out how to upload them from my phone. I used a knock off of the wilwood slave off ebay but it's built to the same specs. I made a braket to attach it to the tail shaft housing. And I had to drill a hole in the clutch fork . I like it because it's rebuildable cheap has a long stroke and simple.

     There are 2 Chevy flywheels ,each has a different ring gear size . All American MFG. have a offset hole on the crank flange GM Ford Chry. Amc. They all have a different flange bolt circle .
