alsil Posted November 6, 2000 Share Posted November 6, 2000 Well, for my setup, I'm going to use a clutch quadrant from a Mustang (aluminum adjustable), cable, and attatch it like a stock Mustang. Easier than trying to mate the hydrolics up. I'm pretty much going to just drill 2 holes in the pedal itself, and atatch the quadrant at the stock angle. Pretty easy. ------------------ http://refuse.netdojo.com/Zcar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted November 6, 2000 Share Posted November 6, 2000 You can also use a hydraulic throwout bearing. Pete has done this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74_5.0L_Z Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 I have the 5.0 and T-5 in my car. I am using the Tilton hydraulic throw-out bearing, and 7/8" universal master cylinder. The clutch is smooth and light, and so far trouble free. I have driven the car 50-75 miles per day for the last 4.5 months. I have provided details of this swap in a previous post. Do a seach under my user name to find the details(part numbers and cost). Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted November 12, 2000 Share Posted November 12, 2000 Turbo huh? Hrm, if you went EFI I happen to know where there's a set of turbo manifolds with T-25 turbos mounted on them that came from a twin turbo V8 Mustang Have a nice big Spearco intercooler too that was mounted horizontally under the radiator with a scoop like many of the ATI cars are. for the correct amount of cash I'd ship these parts your way or anyone else's way that wanted them. Kit cost over $3500 new... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted November 12, 2000 Share Posted November 12, 2000 McCleod makes, or used to make, a good quality hydraulic throwout bearing that slips over the input shaft/front bearing retainer of the T-5. It can be used with a 3/4" (the OEM 5/8" will not provide the necessary amount of fluid) hydraulic master cylinder which I bought from Girling. It (the master cylinder) used the same bolt pattern as the OEM part, but needed some tinkering on the under the dash part to mate up with the Z pedal. The feel is not noticably different from the original feel, and it has been a reliable part for over 10 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
