Mechanical Clutch Linkage

I'm doing the auto to T-5 swap and am looking for the complete mechanical clutch linkage ( 82-3? ) from the pedal to the throwout fork.

Re: Mechanical Clutch Linkage

did you have any luck with your set up? my father in-law just bought an 82 camaro with a t-5 in it with mechanical linkage and it is a real hack job and i have to fix it ,its wearing out the pedals. what were you able to do? i would like to find the stock set up for it but cant find any info either.

Re: Mechanical Clutch Linkage

I could not find any of the mechanical setup in good condition so i opted to go with the hydraulic setup which was quite easy ,except for the bleeding of the slave cylinder,as i went with an aftermarket instead of the pre bled GM, but as long as you "reverse bleed" it , no problem. Maybe you should go with the hydraulic. It works good and less moving parts. If you have any problems feel free to e-mail me if you wish.

They were mechanical in 83 as well. 84 was the first year for hydraulic.
