yeah to run the hydraulic clutch you have to get the lines and such from the brake system, you might need the whole master cylinder for it to work? you are better off getting a whole car. you have to weld in the new shifter tower (inside the car i mean) need shift cables, clutch pedal assembly, and the trans/shift tower/axles/etc. its kinda a lengthy project too, so if its your only car that might pose a problem.

to swap a stick into a focus rquires no welding at all, its all bolt in, the intire swap will bolt in, its just tradin parts fer parts, ford is huge on modular everthing. i did the whole auto to svt swap with out any real power tools, no real cuttin, absolutely no welding(for the swap).funny thing is im usint the auto center consoule, the shifter boot is made to fit the hole. the shit cables run the same hole as the auto. the shifter it self bolts to where the auto stick bolts to. if you swap from a 3 door to a 3door or even a 4 0r 5 door its just like legoes.ClOckwOrkSVT wrote:yeah to run the hydraulic clutch you have to get the lines and such from the brake system, you might need the whole master cylinder for it to work? you are better off getting a whole car. you have to weld in the new shifter tower (inside the car i mean) need shift cables, clutch pedal assembly, and the trans/shift tower/axles/etc. its kinda a lengthy project too, so if its your only car that might pose a problem.
