Keep your fingers crossed that I did all the research and have all the right stuff.
I'll take a couple billion pics.

Saweeeet. This is on my long-list of things to do! I await the results with bated breath.
Replacing a C4 or FMX, right? Can't remember which one.

Sluggo why a T5? From what I understand they are not a real strong transmission. I am still trying to figure out what I want for my big block car but that was the first one I ruled out.

Just got home about ten pm. post some pics tomorrow.
FMX coming out.
T5 because I don't plan on beating the crap out of it. I can always upgrade the trans later. The big thing is getting the clutch pedal in and installing the hydraulics.
Cost was also a factor. I have very little money in the trans so if it scatters, it's no big deal. I can buy a TKO and slap it in in half a day with all the other modifications in place.

which hydraulics did you go with?

Wilwood master, cnc slave, longacre hose assembly.
Willwood master is not such a good fit.(power brakes) May go with a cnc master too.

Here ya go.
Pictures suck and yes, I used some used parts.
Everything went perfectly until I got to the point of hooking up the plumbing to the master. I uses the longacre hose setup. Apparently it is built a round using all CNC parts.
I have a wilwood master which users a 3/8x24 male inverted flare fitting. I had to order a 3/8x24 male to -4an male adapter. That should be here Tuesday. I have jury duty that day. Hoping my affiliation here will exclude me from being a useful juror :lol. Looks like it will be Wednesday before I get to drive it.

I think I see a problem....based on the pictures, it looks like you hooked it all up to the wrong pedal.... I only see 2 pedals.

Sluggo,
That appears to be similar to the slave cylinder that we used on my son's car. The bleeding procedure was a little tricky.... in order to get ALL of the air out of the system.... the plunger on the end of the cylinder has to be extended so that it is flush with the body of the slave in order to remove trapped air behind the plunger. This wasn't in the instructions, but came instead from CNC's tech support staff. Good luck.
