Just ordering all the required parts so much cheaper to do it this way even in australia

Thanks for a wicked post

 

Any update from others using the stock length/Orginal salve rod?

 

I have just ordered both I will post results once I have them fitted after I return home from my trip in a few weeks time

 

I didn't attach the boot to the actual slave, I just attached the boot to the slave rod. The boot is big enough so the rod wont be able to fall into the bell housing. But it's not actually attached the slave.

 

When I wrote this I used the turbos original push rod(as per the post) and it still works, and for me perfectly in terms of engagement point.
I daily drive my car and it's the stock clutch and pressure plate.

 

I ordered parts from pelican parts. The slave cylinder failed and left me on the side of the road last night.

Gonna get a genuine Porsche one put in this time I think.

 

You need to buy the longer slave rod from dgreen78 for the conversion to work properly, slaves sold by pelican are same as oem.

 

You're right.

My tech just called and told me the slave is fine. And the pushrod is too short. I bought my braket from dgreen78. I don't know why he didn't sell me a pushrod too.

 

pleased I could help

Clutch engagement will be back up top of the peddle travel but at least you will have a lot more feel.

Im assuming you have a high torque clutch mind you unsure what it would be like with a stock clutch.

 

Apparently dgreen doesn't sell Rods anymore.

I like the feel of the stock rod. But I need something that I can drive my car....


Any suggestions where I can get a longer one?

 

um yes he does I bought one from him last week unless it was his last one ??

Otherwise get the Specs from Don and get one made up by a Machine Shop.

 

Can you pm me his email or phone number?

I can get my shop to fab one up. I just need the specs.

 

You could do it yourself when you get the length measurement, just buy some round bar the right diameter cut to length, grind off the burs, round the end, even dremel a mushroom cap in the end to help hold it in the slave.
But again with the stock clutch setup reusing the turbos oem slave rod works perfectly.

 

For anyone interested in avoiding this type of drama and multiple sourcing...The GT2 clutch conversion kits that we sell come with the slave rod modified to the proper length. It's a one stop shop with everything required for the conversion in one package.

 

I intend to get one made once I get a hold of Dgreen to get some meassurements. Unless he overnights one to me.

Gearhead states that it worked great for his stock clutch setup. However, I would like to warn people that the stock turbo push rod DID NOT WORK FOR ME. It left me stranded on the side of the road last night. Good stuff.

I have a clutchmaster stage 3 with stock DMFW.
