91 xr2 hydraulic clutch conversion help
ShadetreeMechanic13:
Does someone know what different way to do a hydraulic clutch conversion? Have read about the n/a having a hydraulic clutch and the xr2s having a cable. I've gone through 3 new cables and I'm told they will keep breaking.

Interesting problem Shadetree, wonder why they keep breaking? Heavy duty clutch, bind in the cable? Find a N/A, get the pedal assembly, master, slave and connecting tubing. Then you'll fabricate a bracket to attach the slave to the cable operated clutch arm. If you can't find anything on it by searching TeamCapri, check out the Festiva forum. I've seen info of this in one or the other with pictures.

Hah, the Festiva guys running the Escort hydraulic transmissions do a cable conversion to it. The festiva F-type is cable.
I've heard aftermarket cables are not as durable, but have no evidence to back that claim up. I run stock cables with a heavy duty pressure plate and have had zero issues.
My clutch is very heavy compared to the stock one.
Where are the cables failing?
ShadetreeMechanic13:
I've bought 2 new cables from rockauto.com and the first one broke at the top of the cable where the metal piece hooks onto the petal. The second time on the bottom where the cable turns into a threaded bolt.

What kind of piping does it use to connect the slave cylinder and the master cylinder? Do I need the entire pedal assembly and what plugs up from the pedals to the back of the master cylinder?
