Default hydro cable trans!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know about you but Im tried of breaking my cables and pedal assemblies in my EF

So I came up with a little solution that has mot been available for the d-series that I know of.

Im a fan the the consistency of a hydraulic system, no need to a hydro trans in this case.

Heres some teaser shots from my test car.

No problem dude, well several years ago just as Somen released the hydro conversion bracket I had already been working on my own. Master is installed via a bolt on under dash Hush (22) Performance bracket as seen here on Bisi's Wago.




The cable transmission slave bracket could be a nice addition for those wanting to convert to hydraulic system that still are using a cable trans.
This part isnt any thing new but something that can be reproduced for any one wanting one.

How low does it hang though? Might be another problem with those who ride low, not that I'm one of them

I have a good thread going on over on D-series about this.

http://www.d-series.org/forums/trans...o-hydro-2.html



[QUOTE=cervan;2303250]I saw where you mounted the slave cylinder and from what it looks like it may be too low and bottom out/get hit with ****. If this isnt the case im very interested in hearing so.

I did come up with an idea last night why not mount the slave cylinder solidly straight above the clutch arm and then put a square "box" that goes around the slave cylinder and connects from the tip of the rod to the bottom of the clutch arm? i think it would work great and get it away from the ground.

Well Ive tested it with stock oem replacement Honda D and H series slave cylinders. First the H for the very same point as you mentioned, ground clearance. H-series bleed screw is perpendicular the to slave its self and ultimately gives it more ground clearance off the bat. Being that it didnt hang any lower then the transmission after is was designed and fabricated, we went and retro fitted the D slave. The bracket did need to be reconfigured for clearance.

Why D and why OEM. Market group. Chances are more then likely people may want to source their own slave. Chances are the D style will be more readily available used. Staying with a oem style? Simplification and Convenience. Honda part for Honda parts.

Your idea isnt a bad one. It does look like it would take more then one part to make that happen. One bracket to hold the slave. then the other part being "the box". Then once the box is made it will still need to be mounted to the clutch fork arm. Then what about the pivot point (box to arm). What does the box attach to, to insure it stays where its supposed to. Not a bad idea. kinda the same idea Hasport has with their hydro to cable linkage for B's and D's.

I did something similar two years ago with both Hasports linkage idea and say your idea but this was for a hydro tranny, none the less the idea could be applied mounted upright. It became way too overly complicated and unnecessary. I created a much simpler configuration.





This pull style slave could be mounted upright and use about the same amount of hardware but then could complicate the situation for the DYI'er and drive costs higher then needed then just using an OEM style just for a few centimeters of ground clearance.



So if your still worried about damages from riding to low then you have bigger problems.

I hear ya, I went fully hydraulic and never looked back though But this is a pretty intuitive idea for those that don't want to drop the coin on a hydro tranny. Good job
