Hydraulic Thow out bearing

The 2017 rule book only speaks to air or hydraulic shifters and not clutch linkage...

Just sayin'

thank you, I have a 85 z28 that came with a hydraulic unit. I do have a manual linkage now. I was thinking in a 99 Camaro you would have to have a z-bar made. If any gen 4 stick shift guys could let me know who made it for them. thanks, jeff

Tom Russell @ Russell Performance has probably made z-bar style clutch linkage.

outstanding, thanks to all.

I converted Eric Merryfield's Drag Pak to a stick and did a mechanical set up .
We didn't feel it would be possible to keep the hydraulic unit consistent on reaction times ,plus you have little control over the air gap.
With a Z bar ,you can create many different ratios to change reaction time .

Hey Tom,
Would you consider selling me a Z-Bar for my Drag Pak? That would save me a bunch of time in design work.

Hey todd.my dp is currently having the clutch linkage fabricated by Andre Mailloux.your more than welcome to come and look at it for ideas.i live not to far from you.every thing Andre builds is unbelievable.

Sorry for not responding sooner ,got a lot going on.
I really didn't make any final patterns of the clutch setup since it was refined over a few weeks of building.
Here are a few pictures to give you an idea of how I did Eric's DragPak.
The sleeve is bushed and is welded thru the frame rail and the supported at the bellhousing .
I'm looking for a better picture of the bellhousing end .
You will have to fabricate a custom shifter mount and longer linkages.
The left side of the tunnel will also need work to clear the linkage .
