Hydraulic clutch pros and cons?

[blue_peg_16v]

Well I have bought a new f18 of Stupot recently for the loon, it has a hydraulic clutch set up which I know is easily changeable to the folk for a cable but am considering going hydraulic, somewhat are the pros and cons and is it possible without going for a pedal box.

Anyone?

Con is if the slave cylinder fails it writes the clutch off.

Other than that, they rock!

How would you convert it?

I would have thought a corsa C pedal and gubbins would work...

It's probably not as hard as it sounds. Buy a correct master cylinder and using a Corvus pin mount to your existing pedal, or something to that effect. Have a look at my thread I have just finished mine.

Lighter pedal and you would get rid of the standard fit Nova clutch pedal squeak

the box and slave cylinder are brand new so hopefully wont be a problem for a few years

Ideal with an uprated clutch and heavier pressure plate

Not always,when they start making the usual release bearing failing noise its time to change.
When i worked at a clutch and gearbox centre,there werent too many examples of concentric slaves taking down clutches,well it was only fluid leaks that did anyway.
