    Hey guys just had a quick question, has any one used a universal hydro clutch pedal such as one from wilwood when installing a hydro trans into a cable car? I'm building a bt 1.8t with a 02J, I'm back and forth with converting it to cable or keeping it hydro. Any insight would be appreciated. From what I've seen it would be much easier to just install a new assembly vs modifying the stock rabbit pedal.

    thanks for the replies, I need to see if its worth the time involved with mounting/fabbing up a hydro pedal set up vs the cost involved with the cable conversion
