Things are financially looking better for me these days and I'm ready to buy some parts.... I need all the parts to convert my cougar to a manual (i.e. clutch pedals, cables, mounting hardware, etc.). Everything that I need to connect pedals to a transmission and more. I do not have a T5 yet, but I'm looking. Can you help???
4 cyl? 6 cyl? 8 cyl?
8...
The Cougar has an 8 cyl... I'm looking for a tranny, but I need all the parts needed to attach to the car to convert it over... I'm thinking all the parts off of a XR7 or Turbo Coupe would work fine.
Turbo coupes have hydraulic clutches, is that what you're looking for?
I was told today that I need the cable setup, and that the hydrailic system is not the way I need to go....
find a fox body mustang to part out... that is the cheapest way... I got my whole setup out of an 85 ascmaclaren that I found in the back yard of an old farm. pedals bolted right in cable fits perfectly where the speedo cable ran. I just moved my speedo cable over an inch.
total cost was 200 bucks. for everything. it takes time to find deals like this but they are out there just look.
erm 87-88 turbocoupes are the only fox's with the hydro clutch if i am not mistaking.. 83-86 turbocoupes, Xr7, most of your fox mustangs will work well for you too take a quick peak at the local wrecking yards
Don't use the T5 out of a Turbo Coupe/XR-7; they are internally set up for a 4-banger and they usually grenade when you hook a V8 up to them.
Look for a World Class T5 out of a Crustang.
By the way, I have a brand new clutch cable (non-adjustable) as well as a mint condition boot and shift .
i have 2 trannys . one is a a 2000 mustang and the other is a 1988 turbo coupe. i have bell and pedals for them also name a price and its urs !
I would assume you mean an 85+ T-5?
You have a 5.0 you do not want hydraulic. I take you have auto now?, You need pedals and everything else, look above someone has parts for you. I have a king cobra set up cheap if it helps,
If TBirdSport doesn't have what you want, I can provide (sell you) everything except the actual T5 (I planned on keepin the trans) from my Parts car. I'll probably post it in the for sale soon anyways.
