Guys does anyone know of a hydraulic clutch set up for the A series gearbox. I know I can make something up if i try but first I was wondering if there was a model that came with
one to make it easier.

All US spec cars had hydraulic clutches. I say all, all that I have seen. If you could source a gearbox and slave cylinder from the states you
would be set.

Hi Datsohollics,
Speaking of clutches....In the world of high performance electric cars, clutches that can handle the instantaneous BIG torque that electric motors crank out, is difficult. Before I went
to direct drive (threw out the flywheel, clutch, and tranny), I went crazy looking for a clutch to handle the 500 ft. lbs. of torque my 11 inch modified Kostov motor produced. I found a
Russian fellow who custom built a setup that he claimed "Eeet Vill Not Schilp!!!" This was truly, a monster clutch, and for a while, I could stop on it in top gear from a dead stop (motor
at zero rpm) and fog the tires. But, after a while, clutch slip came into the picture. Now that I'm direct drive and am using a Ford 9 inch rear end, all is well and nothing has broken
for a while.
Just thought some might enjoy hearing a clutch tale...

See Ya.....John Wayland

actually, to make things easier for, almost any left hand drive model had
hydralic clutch setups.
if you want/need one that bad, drop me a line off list I think I can find what
you need.
