Took the ole 65 mustang for a ride today... I'm getting old. Shifting this thing has become more chore than fun. It desperately needs a new clutch which isn't a big deal but it's still an old fashion z bar so the clutch pedal travel is about 2 feet, and the original mustang shifter was a sloppy mess even when it was new. It feels more like shifting an old truck than a 300hp car.
While I got it out to do the clutch I wanna shorten up both the pedal travel and shift throw.
I'm far from a manual trans expert and sure I could find pricey aftermarket kits for this thing but anyone familiar with this trans know of any oem stuff I might be able to peice together from junkyard pickings? I know If I want a better pedal feel and less travel I'll need to go with a hydraulic clutch which I'm fine with but dont know where to source parts.
Ideas? Options? Shove a c6 under it?
