after some searching i came across someone able to get me the required parts to do do the push style conversion
this let you use a push clutch from mitsubishi
either turbo or no turbo (turbo clutch will need some work on the flywheel but the non turbo will bolt right up
act has a non turbo model that can hold about 475lbs/ft of torque
i already got a complete kit,shouldn't take more then a few days to get other
parts required
lever,
fork,
retainer,
bearing,
2 bushings
this makes it a bolt on job,nothing to grind,nothing to modify,nothing to swear at
i should be getting fixed pricing in the beginning of the week

parts are all listed allready ;-)
FYI i don't have any part numbers,but did came across a dealer in my area wih enough patience and experience to try to find everything i needed
for the how too
it's actually VERY simple
remove the trans,
remove the stock clutch,
remove the stock clutch fork,lever,retainer,bearing and bushings
move the clutch cylinder to the other hole (the one that isn't used)
install the new retainer
install the new fork and pivot bushings
install new clutch bearing
install new lever
install push style non turbo clutch of your choice on your actual flywheel
reinstall transmission
bleed hydraulic system
bam you're done

denis, this is great news. my new engine is going to be assembled and installed next week, but i'll ask them to wait so they can do the clutch conversion too. is there a clutch that you'd suggest for the conversion (300 whp/torque max). many thanks hail.gif

Looking forward to a thurough DIY on this with part numbers and some suggestions on clutches/flywheels. I'd love to find something I can get in the US, instead of dealing with these Korean companies that never ship.

What year Mitsubishi are you working off of? I also assume its an eclipse? I know they probably have interchangeable parts between cars as well but for the sake of looking stuff up online.
Thanks!
Thanks!
