Not sure if Glen needs a core, but here's a decent priced one.

I'd avoid that one. Tag number indicates its from a '99 Mustang (meaning V6, as the V8s were using the T45 by that point). It will also use the electronic speedo instead of cable drive like the older ones. I know people have used the V6 transmissions before, but I believe something is off with the input shaft length or something that prevent it from being a simple bolt in.

Progress report , Pulled the pedal support out , Found that on a 71 you can get it out with out pulling the dash , removed oil cooler lines and all connections to the C-6 Dropped the exhaust down , Now on to getting the tranny out. And by the way I think my wife thinks I have lost my mind.Ordered the pedal from modern drive line. May order there cable clutch also unless some has a better idea. Need to source flywheel clutch pilot bearing bell housing etc.

If Mustang Steve makes a cable conversion for your year use that. I initially bought the MD one and after seeing how much of a PITA it was to install went looking for something else and hit on the MS one.
Clutch wise the Ford Racing King Cobra is a great, and economical choice. I'd use the roller pilot bearing for a 5.0. More expensive than a bushing, but they essentially never wear out. On the flywheel there's a lot of options. You need to know what balance your engine has, probably 28 oz. If its a 2 piece RMS then its definitely 28 oz. The Fox bellhousing will need a 157 tooth flywheel. Ford Racing has a nice one that's about $270, but there are cheap offshore ones for like $100. I've used both with success. Don't forget the pressure plate pins & bolts, and flywheel bolts. Since a lot of the stuff is for a 5.0 you can use places like American Muscle and LMR, which carry all the 5.0 stuff.
REMEMBER!!! When posting a question about your Mustang or other Ford on this forum, BE SURE to tell us what it is, what year, engine, etc so we have enough information to go on. |
