| Rono, do you have the part #,s for the Centerline clutch/pressure plate-- and are you using the stock Z-bar clutch linkage? I'm about to install a Mustang T-5 in my '57 Courier and thinking about going with a hydraulic clutch instead of the stock Z-bar setup but $'s are tight so I might forgo that expense unless someone else has a convincing argument for the hydraulic setup?

Some guys had issues clearing the 57 bench seats with the mustang T-5, I guess you can use the camero or s-10 t-5s on this swap. What did you guys use? Mark
thanks, Mark

I must have the seat all the way back and had no problem with the stock shifter location
You gotta have the right tools and know how to use 'em.TC - Austin, Texas

Just finished putting a T-5 in my 56 Merc and I must say it fit without any drama. No floor mods were necessary and the shifter hole landed just ahead of the front seat. I purchased a shifter arm from Lokar that has a double bend in it, cut about 4 inches out of the bottom and re-welded it. The finished product provided a perfect bend to clear the front seat and looks factory.
Any chance you can post a pic of the Lokar shifter handle? Or e-mail it to me? gritsngumbo@comcast.net

| The stock 5.0L Mustang pressure plate will not fit the Y-Block flywheel. It is a metric bolt patternand uses metric bolts and dowel pins to locate. The diaphragm pressure plates that fit the Y-Block flywheel are aftermarket pieces. Input shaft is 1-1/16" 10 spline. From the installations I've seen, clearing the 57 bench seat is not an issue. A lot depends on where you have the seat and the shape of the shift lever you use. Using an s-10 or scumero T-5 opens a whole new can of worms, like pilot bearing, shaft length and where to find an adapter.

| Gerald, I'm not smart enough to figure how to post the picture here but I can email it to you. I'll try to get to it tonight. If this works it shows the shifter in second gear.
