An aftermarket Wilwood hydraulic clutch master cylinder is fitted to a 1972 Shark before the body is installed. Converting from automatic transmission to manual transmission was the reason for this installation. American Powertrain has a complete ready-to-go kit that bolts in the same fashion as this assembly. The trick was getting the correct push point on the clutch pedal for the clutch pedal feel but American Powertrain has that figured out. The mounting plate fits in the original clutch boot's area without any modification. The original clutch linkage through the firewall boot is removed, then the hydraulic clutch master cylinder is installed using the original screw holes as guides. The port at the end of the cylinder receives the clutch flex hose to the hydraulic slave cylinder. The port in the center is for the fluid from the reservoir; it uses a flexible rubber hose that is impervious to brake fluid.
