So I'm right in the middle of my 5 speed swap in my 83 f100 and I went to swap out the pedal assembly and the old assembly is completely different from the new one.
I have a m5od from a 1990 f150 and a pedal assembly from a 1995 f150.
Is there a specific pedal assembly I need to look for because this one is not even close to working.
And, according to what ND Bill told us just the other day but I've already forgotten the specifics about, the migration from mechanical to hydraulic clutch linkages took two years; *some* went hydraulic starting in 1983 and all other models followed suit in 1984... but I forget the details....
Yep. That's why I said '83 - 86. Just find a set of hydraulic linkage pedals in these trucks and they'll work. However, there were differences in the assist springs, so the pedal pressure may not be quite right, depending on what you find. But I can give you the spring color codes if needed.
And, since you appear to be changing from an auto you should consider doing the firewall brace. These firewalls were designed for mechanical linkage - as discussed here: Mechanical Clutch Linkage - Gary's Garagemahal
Even if it had a manual in it you might want to think about reinforcing the firewall. Hydraulic linkages our stresses on them they weren't designed to handle.
The Ford plate, which is available 3rd party, actually works in 3 dimensions. It has ears that wrap around the corner and bolt into the transmission hump. That gives it a lot more strength than just working in 2 dimensions.
