To actuate the Centerforce clutch, I chose a factory hydraulic clutch system out of a '96 Camaro. The only difficult part about installing the system was building a mount for the clutch pedal slave that was in-line with the stroke of the shaft. I found out the hard way that if the clutch pedal causes a misalignment of the shaft, the clutch master cylinder will leak after only a few strokes, requiring an expensive replacement. Once the bracket was properly aligned, I cut off the end of the factory rod and installed a male 1/4-inch Heim end on the master cylinder shaft to minimize binding. I drilled a hole in each end of some bar stock and cut threads to create a male-to-male adapter, which is retained on the slave shaft with two Allen set screws.
