    Pedal Extensions?

    Anyone have any experience with, or ideas on, extending all 3 pedals? My daughter has to put the seat all the way up, and it's not an ideal driving position. HD pedals, no issues, rebuilt before, going to install bronze bushings. Bench seat and she DOES NOT want to replace with bucket seats...

    Clutch Pressure Plate: 18 spline same as 23?

    I bought this Centerforce 18 spline clutch: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ctf-df810739 Short version, not used but a few hundred miles, but the question is can I just buy a 23 spline disc and use my pressure plate? I know I need to get the correct throwout bearing.

    Hurst 3836 64-67 A-Body Shifter

    Looking for pics of this shifter, any other info, and any parts. I have 67 Barracuda with a bench seat, it's a factory 4 speed and would have come with an Inland shifter. Early on, among other things, the Inland was replaced with an aftermarket Hurst. The Hurst does not have a bolt on handle...

    A855 - 5 Speed

    I meant to post something sooner, or during the install, but stuff happens, and too much to do in one day, etc. Received May of 2018. Trans marked Tested 10/31/17. Stored in my house, and I would spin it occasionally. Arrived in a wooden crate, new 5 speed shifter installed, tail shaft capped...

    Input Shaft Sizes/Throwout Bearings

    Just making sure I got this correct after confusing myself searching all over. An 18 spline input shaft is 1.18", aka 1 3/16. A 23 spline input shaft is 1.12", aka 1 1/8. Where is this measured? The reason I ask is I swapped a 23 spline out and ordered up a new clutch and throwout bearing...

    Pilot bushing, need to replace?

    Swapping a 4 speed trans for a rebuilt one. Old trans going into another car, flywheel, clutch, and all. No issues with the old trans or clutch, it's been in use since 2012 when I rebuilt the shifter, installed a new flywheel/clutch/etc. I measured both trans, length of input shaft, bearing...

    Shift Knob - YEEHAA

    I need a new 5 speed shift knob. Was going to buy a regular white ball, then I did a quick search, but can't seem to find it in 5 speed. Anyone see one online? I saw the Thor one first.

    DIY Bench Seat Hurst Stick

    Instead of buying a Hurst 5973, 7036, or a 7926 for $300-$500, has anyone ever bought a similar stick and bent it to fit? Way back I did it once using a non-map gas plumbing torch, just enough to bend it below the boot.

    Inland Shifter for a bench looks like...?

    I've been searching for a pic of a 67 Barracuda bench seat Inland shifter, with no luck. Some members have been very helpful posting pics of Barracuda Inland shifters, but they are either console shifters, which are not the same, or bucket/no console shifters. It is unclear to me if bucket/no...

    4 Speed w/ Overdrive Any Good?

    I currently have a 383 4 speed, which I thoroughly enjoy. The problem is I like to drive this car alot and a 5th gear would make it more drivable. So, would a 833 with overdrive be a good replacement? Do they have the ability to hold up to a stock 383? A rebuilt or hopped up 383? Can I use the...

    Correct Bellhousing for a 67 BB

    Does anyone know what the correct casting number is for a 67 383 Barracuda bellhousing? Is it 2536945, 2468372, or something else? The upper pivot bracket bolt hole is busted, and its causing the bracket to become loose over time and move, messing up the Z bar movement. The upper bolt has been...

    4 Speed Pedal Rebuild Went South - Help!

    So, my clutch pedal had broken off of the weld on the top. I took it all apart, got new bushings, rod, bearings, etc, and welded the pedal to the new rod. Put it all back together and it was smooth as silk. About 15 minutes later- the weld tore on one side from the over spring. Now the over...

    4 speed pedal rebuild

    So my clutch pedal assembly is toast, and I was looking for some expert FABO advice. In the pic below, the red circle is where it is welded, and my weld is broke. If I buy the parts to rebuild this from Brewers, I need: http://www.brewersperformance.com/products.asp?id=41 1 - CP-ASH CLUTCH...

    4 speed linkage binding up

    I replaced the bushings and such in the Z bar, verified it is the correct Z bar, and made sure everything is adjusted correctly. The rod from the pedal to the Z bar looks way out of whack. On the Z bar side it appears to be a little off alignment, if I grabbed it from the pedal side and moved...

    Clutch Issues - No Burnouts

    I spoke to a number of people, some who were even intelligent, and here is what I came up with. I have a 4 speed with a 383. The car will not do a burnout at all unless the pavement is wet. If I rev it up and pop the clutch the pedal will stick to the floor and the clutch will burn. I do not...

    black ball question

    Bought a black ball for a Hurst shifter, the shifter is supposedly out of a 66 Barracuda. On the shifter the threads are finer and it is a larger diameter. 1) Anyone know what this ball is from? 2) What is the best way to make it fit and look correct? Thanks.
