to start with I would use a slave cylinder it seams easierthan a clutch cable. also I would use the search function on here it works pretty good. I am gathering parts myself and this is what I have been doing.
hope it helps some.

You need to do a LOT of reading and then ask specific questions. Most of your questions have already been answered in various swap threads.

And as flaminranger stated it's easier to go hydraulic.

been reading through alot of threads... most r broken/missing things i wanted to know... for one... driveshift lenths/can i use stock one with out cutting down? and a complete checklist of parts being this is my main mode of transit.. ive seen everything from a probe-to a metro-to a ranger slave... IF possible id like to use a slave with its own res on it...
