maybe this is better. They circle is near a hole which was plugged with a rubber. I routed my starter cable thru this...

Ah yes, that's the plug. On the original MT cars, a small rubber boot goes over the hole and the clutch pedal rod goes through there to the torque shaft (z-bar). If you can get the MC lined up with that hole, it should be nearly ideal. I need to look at another Dakota to see if the angle makes sense. I hope that the pushrod on the MC is long enough to reach the clutch pedal. I also hope that the clutch pedal provides enough stroke to activate the slave properly, but not so much that we need to put a stop on the pedal...

Very nice. I see a lot of similarities, but I like your's better.

Thanks a lot!

both is not a problem, requires just a new bolt on the pedal for the M/C rod.

I'm more concerned about the space in the engine bay. I don't want to cut the fender. But if I have to... Maybe I can turn the m/c a bit in 1 o'clock position....
Will try Sunday, tomorrow I receive my probshaft with the Toyota Yoke.

Maybe a 2nd Gen Viper MC from McLeod?? Looks like it needs a couple details, but it's straight - and Mopar-ish...

Clair

m/c is in (but not connected yet). There was a "little" denting requiered.
the m/c rod is in deed to short, Clair. But I'm gonna fix this tommorrow.

another... maybe a stupid question but how do you bleed this???

I don't know what you can do - if anything - to bleed that master/slave. Looks like a nice install, though. Very factory looking, nice and clean. I need to go out to the salvage yard again and see if I can find a decent mock-up part for my swap. I'm curious to see how you handle the extra length on the push rod.

Clair

My bet is it is self bleeding, just pump it until it works.

But that's just my guess.

hm, and how do you change the fluid? There is no outlet...

Clair, I'm welding a bracket on the Pedal today with a new mountig point for the pushrod. I'll show it to you when done...

it is very important to find the right angle to make sure that the pushrod goes the whole way ... as pivot I used a M10 Bolt, welded in..

aaah, server is up again so I can continue with spamming pics...

Pedal Assy is in again.

another one...

ok, I had a little time while waiting for clutch parts so I took care of the shifter. I had an old Hurst stick which I welded on the cutted Toyo stick.

first pic is in second gear. Pretty close to the bench, huh?

This one is in first gear...

ok, this one shold be the last (for today). It is the driveshaft. The slipyoke, joint and front part of the shaft is stock Toyota. Welded on the Dodge Shaft....

Looks just about perfect to me - as long as the shifter isn't hitting the seat or the dash, it's doing well. The shifter throw appears to be nice and short, as you'd suspect from a modern transmission.

Nice work, Michael!

Clair

The only way to get rid of air in the system is a complete diassembly...

thats how it looks now. Clutch is in, Tranny is bolted on so far. I have to check the hydraulic now...
