Does anyone know if a complete bolt-in hydraulic clutch set up exists? I am thinking about switching over from mechanical linkage on my 1980 malibu. Any help with part numbers or kits would be appreciated.

Somewhere in my TKO 600 thread is my complete install of my hyd clutch setup. It was expensive and a pain in the but. But worth it.

Well if you are running the original 3 or 4 saginaw setup.

Then no there is no direct bolt in setup.

If you have upgraded to a T-5, TKO or T-56 Then yes you could use the setups from the car that the trans came out of.

With a little bit of know-how.

If you keep the 3-/4-speed Saginaw, I think your only choice would be to use a hydraulic release bearing. Other than the mid 80s Corvette bellhousing (I understand the slave is not available), I don't know of a bellhousing with the correct geometry that will also work with a slave cylinder.

Have you studied my bellhousing page?

McLeod sells a 3rd Gen camaro master and a hydraulic throw-out bearing. Like they said depends on transmission selection. I had no choice with my muncie
