You can convert the festiva to hydraulic.

I was just looking into this yesterday. You probally can but it would require you to total disassemble the 2 trans & swap bellhousings

hey kemp if you find that info let me know i would like to conver that kia trans to cable to make life easier if i can if not i will just make it hyrdaulic, also on a side note if usine a G25 trans on a BP the oil pan bolts wont line up and if useing a b6,b6de, b6t on a G5mr the bolts wolt like up with the oil pan either, they say its not a big deal though

What the heck are you talking about?
I've had a g25mr & g5mr both bolted up to a bp.

what would you need to convert to hydrolic clutch.
the escort i found had power brakes so would the resivor from power brakes fit on a non power brake slave cylinder.

DUH got a resivoir from a ford bronco will work just fine now all i need is an engine.

That is not the difference between the two. The G25MR is the second generation of the G5MR (also known as G15MR). There are G5MRs that are hydraulic. Look in the sticky. And I know I just answered this question in a topic in the general section, so I won't repeat it.

Has anyone converted their cable clutch to hydrolic if so how did you mount the rod to your clutch pedal?????

[IdealSociety]

i believe there were 2 of us that did it first round, me and another guy who sold his car. both of us did a hydraulic BP escort swap. mine is out of a 91 egt with the g5mr trans. converting to hydraulic isnt tough, just open up the hole where the cable went through, drill a hole for the extra bolt used by the master clutch cyl. then make a mounting bracket for the pushrod on your clutch pedal.

easy as that. been runnin my bp festy with the hydraulic clutch for prolly around 3 years now? maybe 4?

i can try to dig up some old pics if you need them.

[IdealSociety]

looks like those are the best pics ive got.

[gorgonheimer]

i did the same thing. only drawback is the pedal effort because of the geometry. stroke is really short though, makes for awesome speed shifts
