i have an extra clutch z bar with pivot and frame bracket. its in good shape. 55 shipped in the us. thanks

 

Do you have any Pictures?

 

here ya go

 

not sure if that worked?

 

The first picture looks like it might have a crack at the weld? How is the integrity of the bar?

 

its just the photo from my ipod. the bar is solid. iv had it as a spare for years, now im pulling my t10 out. i have all swap parts too. if you need anything else? thanks

 

Bump

 

Will this work with the 83 T5 trans?

 

not sure if they are the same or not? i think the difference between the t10 and t5 were the bell housing bolt pattern, not the linkage?

 

82 was the only year for the mechanical clutch linkage.

 

1982 and 1983 had the Z Bar. 1984 went to Hyd.
That bar will work for eighter year.

 

i stand corrected. i didnt know the t5 also had said mechanical clutch

 

bump

 

I know this is old, do you still have the z-bar?

 

Super delayed response..... ha. But yes I still have it

 

If it is still available, I will take it for $55

 

 

Took 6 years.....but it’s SOLD! Thanks Fred

 

Resurrection of the thread lol. Any chance you have any of the t10 swap parts? If not lets let the thread die 😂

 

Sorry man, it’s all long gone

 

I like this thread, cause it has photos of the Z-bar. Good to still have this info. I myself prefer this method of clutch release over the hyd., because of the simplicity, which means reliability. This set-up was used since Christ was a corporal, and is proven. Of course the components have to be correctly aligned, lubed, and installed, but will give years of dependable service. We all know how difficult it is to find this rare set-up, so naturally people will talk down at it, and build up the new hyd. systems, mainly cause they're easily available. But I just assume keep away from an extra reservoir on my firewall, next to the master cylinder, along with another cylinder inside the bellhousing, which have the potential for leaky seals.

As for the transmission question, these mechanical, or hyd. release methods have nothing to do with the transmission. It is mounted before, and in the bellhousing, and doesn't know or care what tranny is installed behind it.
