    Yep just give them a call, probably could use the stock pedal if you do take pictures and make another how too for the people to see. Your way I would imagine prob save 100.00 bucks or so if you can make it work that way.


    I went for simplicity and quickness LOL

    hey can you expand on this a little, sounds promising. So what jig saw are you referring to, the corded handheld ones? Where can I get the blade from?

    so i just finished rebuilding the t5. i followed these instructions. http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2005/12/T5Rebuild/index2.php there is a link to the factory t5 manual on that page that i used the most.
    the t5 i was using would grind 2nd gear if you shifted faster than grandma coming home from church on sunday. the ears that line up to the syncro slider were all ground away. so got a new 2nd gear and syncro slider in additon to a rebuild kit that contained new bearings, syncro rings, and other small parts.

    so heres the fresh tranny

    This set up won't work with the stock maverick clutch pedal...The CNC set up
    is a reverse swing, meaning the master is mounted behind the pedal pivot, not in front like a pusher assembly..You're better off getting the whole assembly and doing it like Bryant did if you want to switch to hydraulic....I'm doing the exact same thing now

    the stock pedal will work just fine its been done before. search the forum and theres some pics. you can mount the master in the engine bay and the rod will come through the existing hole to the pedal

    Than that's different than the CNC unit being used here...Sure, i guess you could use a hydraulic master hooked to you're current stock pedal....A Willwood unit from Speedway might work, not sure about the pedal ratio though and i would plate the firewall where the master bolts through

    its been busy at the shop so i havent had much time to put into my car. ive got the hard line from the master cylinder to the bulk head fitting in the firewall done. i have started on the bracket to suport the pedal assmebly to the firewall. its proving a little bit tricky. i think i have it figured out. i will have pics of it and the line as soon as i get the time to finish them. i hope to get the c4 trans out tomarrow and start fitting the t5 in. stay tuned for more pics.
