If you’ve driven a Jeep CJ with a mechanical clutch linkage—especially off-road—you know the struggle. Binding linkages, misalignment from frame flex, and a stiff, inconsistent pedal feel can make crawling over rocks more of a workout than it should be. That’s where a hydraulic clutch conversion comes in. We recently upgraded the jeepfan.com 1978 CJ-5 …
