Clutch Linkage / Z-Bar Help

I need some help with my clutch linkage. I took my trans out a couple years ago and I'm trying to get my T-5 installed. I'm using all of my stock clutch linkage. My problem is I don't see how the rod that pushes in the clutch fork attaches to the Z bar. I've attached pics below, any help is appreciated. Also I haven't been able to locate that rod yet either

The other half of your z-bar is missing ....

 

Maybe

Well I already have the part mounted to the block, with the ball on it. The part I took a pic of is the bottom half that hangs down right next to the trans mission. I may try to take a pic of it installed tonight, but it was hard enough to get it attached around the headers, not sure if I can get a camera up there.

 

The part in your picture is the side that mounts to the block. Sure you don't have it backwards?

 

Clutch rod

I was looking at that exploded view, and I may be able to make that rod. It doesn't seem like anything special just a rod with a pointed end and a piece that juts from the side to go through that bottom half of the z bar. That is unless you think I could find it at pull-a-part. Actually I don't even know if that place is still around. I got my granada setup for my front discs there a few years ago.

 

Just buy one brand new from a Mustang store ... i.e. Mustangs Unlimited ...

 

Name?

What's that rod called? Do you know if I can also get the part that passes through the z-bar?

You'll need some some of the related parts listed underneath as well ...

 

Perfect

Thanks for the link, thats exactly what I need. I searched their site but used the wrong search terms. That freakin' return spring is $18!! Can it be that different from any other spring?

 

That spring is used to hold the lower clutch rod in place so there is no way it could ever fall off the fork. It attached between the z-bar and the clutch fork.

 

Point of no return

Not that special compared to others' projects, but I cut the hole in my trans hump last night for my T-5. A little scary b/c up til now nothing was permanent.

 

I plan on swapping a toploader in my car as soon as I get all of the parts to do it. Cutting that hole for theshifter is the only thing thing I do not look forward to doing.
