Hi guys.

Ive been having an on going problem with my hydralic clutch setup on my V6

Im going to get the setup redone by someone to the method of part cable part hydralic.

I need a big favour from someone local to gillingham to pop down or for me to meet them to havr a look at there original clutch setup!

This is because my Firewall has been modifyed to house the master cylinder so i need to check an original setup exiting the wall as i need to check if mine is able to have some original setup put back in place which if mines been over modifyed i may have to go down a different route.

Any help would be appreciated!

you need to stick with the full hydro setup, its far nicer, what issues are you having?

I can't help with the original pics sorry but if you want any photos of my half cable to hydraulic setup then drop me a pm and I'll take a few for you. The setup on mine has been perfectly reliable since the car was converted although I'm sure as welshy has said a full hydraulic setup working nicely would be nicer to use

The clutch master cylinder rod to the clutch pedal has snapped off.

The original one used was full metal inc the part that attaches to the ball on clutch pedal to operate but they now manafacture them with a plastic end so when i had it replaced on first use it snapped off partly due to it being poorly aligned when first done.

The rod when i purchased the car was already broke inside the cylinder but it worked fine until i left it unused over winter and it had lost fluid from a slight leak from the master cylinder.

Will take some pics tom

And yeah the full hydro setup is perfect its straight on and straight off.

Just wish i could find someone to sort it out now as cant find any garages round here specialising or willing to take a modifying job on. Aint like theres a lot to do either. Its already done just needs correctly aligning

Not too much of a hassle to revert back, the plate is removable so wouldn't be too hard to find a second hand if you need to go back to cable/half cable Thumbs up

The original hole has been made larger and a plate welded in hole of firewall to insert the master cylinder in and twist fit.


Pug1off said they can do it but he is more inclined to do it as they would half and half but he said it May of been over modified and so unable to revert back

try a 206 master, it bolts on so easier to DIY a solution, you'd need the D9 slave and pipework as well, possibly C5 will work too, they are better as you can buy separate parts and bleed them.

Was tempted to replace the whole pedal box as you can get them with built in master cylinders facing into the dash as well which would be an idea but a lot more costly. Especially if I decide to get a bias bar one which I'm also tempted with

naah, they never work nicely unless you get a properly designed custom unit, not yet seen/heard of one that does for a 306 or 106, best to just adapt the pedal box to suit.

Anyone got pics of say the engine bay with the engine out showing the cable entry. Or a pic behind the pedals showing exit of clutch cable.

This is a 205, but something similar should be straightforward enough in a 306.

The converter used a pre filled system ie master.and.slave all as one item connected from.factory and filled with fluid which is from.the 406 which ya cant bleed so if it leaks ya buggered. Had to replace cause it leaked and also it does not align with the clutch pedal very well so when pushing the clutch pedal it bends the push rod of the master causing breakages

Ive never seen the 406 my self but is there no reason why you can't use a 206 setup? or is the slave on the 406 box concentric?
If you can use the 206 setup (or at least the M/C) then the shaft that attaches to the pedal has a pivot on it which gives you a fair bit of room for error in mounting and movement as you push the pedal down.

Managed to find an awesome garage and the owner Pete is very honest and helpful and there also part of the good garage scheme.

Took me car down there explained what needed doing and job done very well keeping the full hydraulic system which can now be bled.

Had all the brake calipers checked as been sitting a while and all pads changed.

He even told me that due to the nature of the beast its moted as a kit car and the emissions are done on the non cat rule so I dont
need to fit a cat which is good as they aint
cheap and at risk of failing so gonna get a stainless one made soon but hopefully I can get it made so.its still relatively quiet still.

Aint picked the car up for a test drive yet but had a sit in it and the pedal feels great!!

Cant wait as this was the bug bear thanks to pug1off not doing anything with the setup when I paid for the conversion to be redone.
