alright, i have put it off for a while, but i really want to start puting this together.......i want to dump my E4od tranny, and put in a 5 speed.

i have been researching parts and prices, ebay, broncograveyard, NPD, LMC, ect... but i cant find the clutch pedal assembly ANYWHERE!! i might be able to find one in the bone yard. i know there is a safety switch on it, but is there a place in my harness to plug it in??
and do i have to get a whole new brake pedal, or just the pad?

on to the bigger parts....
will the crossmember from the E4OD work with the M5R2?
does the harness have a provision to plug in the neutral safty switch?
will the output shaft from the E4OD be the same as the M5R2? (because im gonna have my T-case serviced, and if its not gonna fit, ill just geta rebuilt one)

and the clutch....
what is the differance in the clutch from '88-92, and '93-up?
the Dual Friction, or the powergrip, and such, are they worth the money?

all input, comments, ideas welcome...thanks guys!

 

i would not install that manual tranny. its weak even behind your 302. the zf would be the right way to go .

 

the mazda 5 speed is the tranny that it would have come with from the factory. my engine is completly stock except for the K&N, so im not really that worried about blowing out the lighter tranny. i also am not going to be doin any heavy towing, or serious drag racing. the mazda looks like an easyer install, and its a couple hundred dollars cheaper. i also had the mazda in my old pickup, and i liked the way it shifted, and the ratios were good.
