What I have:
-bellhousing
-pedals
-T-5

What I still need:
-clutch (i was thinking of getting a Spec stage 1, any thoughts?)
-flywheel (thinking of getting a spec steel flywheel)
-yolk? (can my 700R4 yolk be used?)
-driveshaft? (do I need a different length than my 700R4?)
-all clutch hyrdaulics


I'm probably forgetting something stupid, what else am I going to need?

I have a full hydraulic setup for sale. I also have a 1 piece rear main seal flywheel with less than 300 miles on it. Would ship them both to you for 100 bucks.

Forgot to add, you can use your driveshaft and yolk from your 700 without a problem as well as your existing crossmember.

Thanks for the info.

Back to the clutch for a moment, does anyone have any experience with a Zoom Performance MU clutch? The price is good, it comes with all the bearings I need, and it's stock-ish pedal effort. I only plan on having 300-350 lb-ft of torque, if I can avoid a heavy clutch, I'd like to.

Also, does anyone know where I can buy a shift boot? And I also need the rod that connects to the transmission shifting mechanism, not sure what it's called, "linkage"?

I actually have that already. I need the boot the insulates the actual transmission tunnel from the outside. Does it have a name that I'm not aware of?

George,

It's just called a lower shift boot. Salvage yard, ebay or someone on here may have one. As far as the clutch, that one you are questioning is the one that I used. I felt the pedal pressure was totally exceptable with good holding power although I really never laid into it. Your question about the shift linkage has me wondering though. You don't have a t5 if you have external linkage. Now, if your looking for a shifter, I have a stock one for a TA that could probably use a little paint on the upper part of the stick. I could throw that in for an extra 5 bucks if your wanting/needing that.

It doesn't need a linkage in the FWD sense, I'm just not sure what to call it. It has a stub of a shifting rod on it, and it moves in the correct H-pattern, but it's not nearly long enough nor threaded at the top to accept a shift ****. If you have this threaded rod that I seek, then yeah I'll take it off you hands.
