      <content:encoded><![CDATA[1) Malwood clutch pedals are amazing quality, and absolutely suck to install.<br />
<br />
2) the TKX fits the Maverick like it was made for it, with minimal cutting involved.<br />
<br />
3) the C4 I6 crossmember is easily modified to fit the TKX. It is exactly its own width too far forward. With some cutting, strengthening and welding, it only takes a 1/4&quot; spacer to get the angles perfect.

The C4 is a three speed automatic transmission.<br />
In 1964 it was introduced as a new cruise-o-matic with Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Drive2, and 1 selections on the shifter. (Green Dot C4)<br />
In 1967 it was re-introduced as a &quot;select shift&quot; with a position...<br />

The problem is that the piece from the transition that connects to the shift rod is going the wrong way. It’s going down and for a floor shifter it needs to go up.  Is there any way to do that? Can I just turn it around?]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey there, just joined this forum. I&#039;ve had my 1973 v8 Maverick 39 years, my dad bought it new. It had a column shift c4 which I moved to a floor shift way back when I was a kid. Anyway, I want to convert to a manual, maybe t4, so I&#039;m looking for any direction for this other then the tremec conversion kits? Again, it has a c4 auto, so I would need everything.<br />
Thanks,<br />

Both the engine and transmission had relatively low miles on them and the transmission also had a shift kit installed, when I purchased them from the owner who was parting the car out he gave me the paperwork to prove it. <br />
Well I got it all in and working but it never shifted right, in any gear. Bought Lokar TV cables and...<br />

One, I can&#039;t find any with a green stripe-only black at all the stores. Do they make a green one(supposedly better shifts-what I&#039;ve heard), for this year?
