Hydraulic Clutch Kits
The new system features an integrated under-dash hydraulic master cylinder and a bolt-in clutch pedal. The included clutch pedal allows for easy conversion to hydraulic, or an automatic car to manual. The kit is easy to use and requires no complicated adjustments or junkyard searches for hard-to-find pedals. Everything is bolted-in followed by bleeding the slave cylinder.
The new HYDRAMAX kit includes a master cylinder, clutch pedal, lines, and a billet HYDRAMAX hydraulic slave cylinder bearing. The conical slave cylinder is pre-bled, dual-sealed and comes with shims to adjust the distance to the clutch fingers for any type of clutch set-up. Included is a billet reservoir to finish out the installation. These kits work with any TREMEC transmission including the T5, TKO/TKX, and T-56 Magnum 6-speed. The hydraulic pedal is also available for purchase separately, with no hydraulic slave.
American Powertrain’s patented HYDRAMAX hydraulic systems and components are the most advanced systems on the market today. This system includes every fitting, line and part needed for a complete, worry-free installation including detailed instructions, video guides and tech support.

I know this is an article for GM cars, but do you have a fit for a 2004 Ford Mustang. Trans is a Tremec 3650. Any possibilities?
We do not have a hydraulic kit for 2004 yet but we have a 5 and 6-speed kit for those cars. Just call us as 931-646-4836
No Tri-Five specific kit? I bought a Tremec TKO kit from you guys for my ’56 & plan on installing it this spring. That would make a nice addition to the car too.
Tri-Five kits are here

So if I wanted to put a 5 or 6 speed in my 73 camaro that has a turbo 350 in it now this would be better than trying to put the stock linkage in? Can you recommend a good tranny for my car. It’s a 350 300 hp motor( might get a better motor down the road but not over 400 hp. And I have 3:73 gears. What would a whole setup like this cost? I want to do it the easiest way possible with the least amount of cutting and welding. Thanks Tim
Our TKX 5-speed kit. We have been doing 5-speeds for Camaros for years. No cutting. Just give us a call at 931-646-4836.
What about a 73-74 X body Nova? I want to swap the original factory 4 speed with an LS and tremec 6 speed.
Coming soon..
