Hydrualic Clutch for TKO
I posted this question along with another, but this one didn't get too much attention, so I'm posting it again separately.
Does anyone out there have the Keisler hydraulic clutch setup in their early C-3 (68-75) Vette to go along with their TKO transmission? If so, was it worth the cost? Are you having any issues with the firewall flexing where the clutch master cylinder is mounted. Does the hydraulic setup make pushing in the clutch easier? The manual clutch setup makes my leg tired, since I'm in the city a lot, so I think a hydraulic setup would be nice. Thanks in advance for your help.

In my estimation it is well worth the cost. There are no firewall flexing issues whatsoever as the firewall is steel at the point the clutch cylinder is mounted. I estimate the pedal pressure is about 50% of the manual linkage. I have had no issues with my setup at all. It is a bit of a pain to mount the cylinder with the brake booster just above it, but you will manage. You can drill all the holes from the inside. You will like it a lot!

Thanks for the reply. Do you happen to know if a 70 Vette has steel where the clutch master cylinder mounts to the firewall? Hopefully I won't have any monuting issues, since I'm using a hydroboost for power brakes. Thanks again.
