Well, I have a t5 in my camaro and the other day I drove my friends 'stang with a t5 as well. One thing I noticed about the 'stang was that the clutch pedal travel was like half of what mine is... not to mention ALOT easier to push down. Can I adjust my clutch pedal like this? Sorry about my ignorance but I know nothing about tranny's.

 

anyone?

 

well, I guess if you convert it to the 82 style cable and go from there. it would be very close from there maybe a few other things like a adjustable cabe. would do it. but, I would rather have the hyd. unit.

 

dan instead of calling me at 5:00 am asking about clutch throw maybe you should IM me when im awake or call me during the day!


actually dan i did a little research for you, and the "throw" of the clutch is part of the hydraulic system as a whole.

The minimize the amount of pedal movement you need to maximize the movment at the clutch fork.

this means that when you hit the pedal, you need to make sure nothing in the hydraulic system is expanding or leaking. the lines that run from the Master Cylinder tot he slave cylinder may be expanding or taking up slack. The master cylinder's "piston"may be leaking down as the pedal is moved, and overall the amount of fluid moved by the cylinder itself has the biggest effect on movement at the clutch fork. so maybe if you take a MC from a mustang it will move more fluid causing an easier disengagment of the clutch.

also pressure plate speed makes a difference in disengagment. the diaphram type Pressure plates become easier to disengage as RPMS go up.

call me somtime during the day ill add more info.

 

the mustang is cable, at least up to 97 they are

 

so your saying the 1988 gt I drove had a cable and no hydraulics??

 

yes
