i could probably measure the stock MC setup i have in the garage and answer that, but not tonight.

as for the Russell fitting - Russell SUCKS at supplying their vendors with parts. If you ever find that almost all vendors are backordered, call Russell directly and order from them - they always have their own parts on hand. Shipping is more, but you still get the part.

i don't know why this is true, but i've had it happen with three other Russell fittings for my swap.

and, from my personal view, purchase Earl's where you can --- any company that is as irresponsible as Russell with getting out parts doesn't deserve your money.

Yes. One is intended to replace your master cylinder fitting, the other is intended to replace your slave cylinder fitting.

As I understand it, either the fitting(s) or the tension pins are different - as in you can only put one of each in their respective locations.

It looks like Summit has them back in stock, too.

Jebus, what a joke! Summit charges $10 handling fee on a $20 part, Jegs charges $11.50 handling on a $20 part.

It's great you get free shipping, but FFS, gimme a break on the handling! It's not even a large part - you could ship it USPS for $1.50 just by shoving it in an envelope! WTF?!

You buy two of those /\ fittings(-3AN adapters) one goes on the master, the other on the slave. You can then buy a -3AN line of your desired length and it will screw on to your new fittings. Fill with fluid, bleed, drive...

You can remove the stock f-body fitting from the throw out bearing or from the slave and install this..... these are kind of expensive but being able to convert the stock slave to a -4 style fitting is well worth the cost.
I snapped a few pics and can get you guys some part numbers If you want.



Does anybody know the part number for the fitting on the left with the 90 deg. on it this would help clear my tranny tunnel, i does connect to the T56 fitting correct.

why do both the 3an and 4an versions of the nook-and-tranny unit above say they won't work with the hydraulic TOB?

found out why they list that. They mean for sliding into the stock quick disconnect. If you punch out the roll pin, they will install.
