Re: 5 speed z bar conversion.

WTF are you talking about here?
You're pulling your 700R4 to put in a T-5 5 speed right? Why not use a hydraulic clutch, rather than a z-bar setup? Does the T-5 you have even have the bellhousing setup for a z-bar?

Either way, i'd move heaven and earth to install a hydraulic clutch setup, even if I had to use a hydraulic TO bearing.... The z-bar and pushrod setup is JUNK for a million reasons...
