First off why are you wanting to go hydro?

Havent seen one done yet on a D50, heard alot of talk about it.

Gassers came with cables the diesels and v6's came with hydros

And BTW your shifters not gonna line up in stock location unless you replace the quest tailshaft with a d50 one.

i know ill have to get a tail shaft and i want to go hydraulic simply cause it is easier maintnence and i will be drifting this truck

EASIER MAINTENECE? 2 HYD PISTONS THAT COULD START SEEPING OR OUT RIGHT FAIL LEAVING YOU STANDED ,NOT TO MENTION HAVIING TO BLEED THEM EVERYTIME YOU OPEN THE SYSTEM ....I WOULD THINK A SIMPLE CABLE RUN FROM POINT A TO POINT B WOULD BE SIMPLER UNLESS YOU PLAN ON DRIFTING THE TRUCK DOWN DIRT ROADS ALL THE TIME CAUSING A SHIT TON IF DUST TO EVENTULY GET IN TO THE CABLE SLEEVE CAUSING IT TO BECOME HARD TO PUSH THE PEDAL BEFORE IT BREAKS....ALL FORD MUSTANGS AT LEAST UNTIL 2003(INCLUDING THE 03 SUPERCHARGED 6 SPEED COBRA'S, THIS I DO KNOW FOR SURE ! ) AS FOR AS I KNOW HAVE HAD A CABLE AND YOU DONT SEE THEM SCREAMING TO GET THAT SHIT OUT OF THE CAR ..AND I'VE SEEN MUSTANGS STREET RACE ,ROAD RACE AND DRIFT ....

Cable is the way to go for the clutch. You will also have to modify the tranny tunnel by the gas pedal if you change out the auto pedals for manual pedals- the auto tranny tunnel is much wider that the manual tunnel and it makes it tight to get from gas to brake. I know this from 1st hand experience; you'll also need the tube that goes through the firewall for the cable. reinforce the firewall where the cable goes through so it doesn't flex when engaging the clutch.

Pretty sure not even the drift truck (found at www.thedrifttruck.com) doesnt use a hydro clutch but its your rig.

Best of luck, gonna need pedal assembly, firewall stuff, master cylinder for cluth and resivor, otta get ya close.

Also migth need a new trans cross member, and driveshaft. At least my friend did on his 88 2.0 auto. The auto was musch longer than the d-50 trans.

[pennyman1]

Yes, the trans crossmembers are all different, as well as the front half of the drive shaft. You will need to change the speedo cable and make sure you have the right speedo gear to match the gears and speedo (85 or 120). There is a jumper you must install to eliminate the neutral safety switch, or the truck won't start. Good luck.

I have a newly rebuilt KM132 hydro tranny sitting in my garage. It's a really rare transmission but I think it's exactly what your looking for. This is no POS tranny either, Warme had it rebuilt for me last year, but I decided to go in a different direction. Feal free to give me a call at 801-722-5517 or 435-227-0569 for more info. Spence
