My ED/EF Cable to Hydro Clutch Conversion

**mooshie** · 05-03-2015 10:26 PM

Not really. No more than a rebuilt box which I would do if I was swapping in a hydro setup and cheaper because there are no more additional parts required. I picked up the internals and casing for what ended up being about $400 and a new final drive for $120. Add in the new bearings, synchros, seals etc and a couple of required parts and it's a good option. I was just lucky to come across parts as they are not easy to find.

This is basically the crux of that post. You were in the right place at the right time. We all know late 80s Honda parts are going to become pretty scarce in the next few years. Especially parts that aren't f'ed. How often do you go the the wreckers looking for some parts only to find they're in worse condition than the ones on your car

Exactly, that's why what you are doing is so great.

you can rebuild a ys1 with aftermarket parts instead of finding oem though???

I didn't rebuild a YS1, it's just the casing, I rebuilt an S80 R gearset. I believe you can find aftermarket parts for the older cable gear sets including YS1 still though

Test fitted everything over the weekend, filled with fluid and bled (even installed some new OEM pedal rubbers).

Everything fitted well, pedal feels good. Firmer than my stock ED6 cable pedal, but expected as it's obviously a bigger (heavy duty) clutch.

Comparison shot of my ED6 stock pedals, and the custom setup. Installed the steering linkage shroud to check clearance.

and the DC4 line I had lying around used to rig it up, not really pretty but served its purpose.
