Manuel transmission
Hi all I've got a c4 transmission bolted to my 289 v8. And I want to swap it for a 4 or 5 speed Manuel transmission. I'm looking for some advice on what's best to buy and swap over? Also gotta fit a clutch pedal where's best place to buy one?
Any help much apprecated

I mounted a T5 out of a 1999 mustang onto my 302. I had to make a new transmission mount, and get a new driveshaft... For the clutch I purchased a wildwood pedal, master, and slave cylinder and converted it to hydraulic. The clutch conversion was the biggest pain. If you have the engine out of the truck it would be much easier to set the throwout bearing distances.
There's nothing better than having that third pedal though!

Don't forget that you will need a pilot bushing for the end of the crankshaft. Without it the clutch will work for a little while then develop a serious vibration before destroying itself.

Thanks for reply guys think I've found a box out of an early 80's mustang. It's called a toploader do you know if it will fit my 289 v8? It comes with everything to bolt on.
