Hey Joe…where ya goin’ with that clutch in your hand?

This is what I installed back in 2017/2018 winter.

My 65 coupe had factory 4 wheel power drum brakes.
For 25+ years I had Granada disc brakes and rear drums(with single jar master and booster).
Now it has 2016 GT brakes front and rear (2001 V6 Mustang master cylinder).

This kit works well with Granada spindles and 65 spindles.
Hope this helps.

CK-165 is the basic kit. If you want to add power brakes, the CK-165-M kit has everything including pedals.

I am no longer in Dallas. Michael is in Cleburne. He has all the stuff now.

Which Michael?  or Who is Michael?  I grew up in Johnson County so I'm familiar with Cleburne.  I usually take the kids to Fort Worth this time of the year to see the Christmas tree in downtown.  I suppose I can plan for an extra 2 hours to go pickup the parts.  I'll try and give you a call this morning.  I don't need anything related to brakes.  I just am hoping that going with the cable clutch vs hydraulic will require less fine tuning and traditional clutch pedal feel.

I'm going to bite the bullet and try one of the MS clutch kits.  I have a bell housing from a 1988 foxbody paired up with the T5.  The current clutch is hydraulic clutch kit I purchased from modern driveline about 7 years ago:

64.5-66 Mustang Hydraulic Clutch Master Kit - Type 3 - Modern Driveline

It has worked ok but it squeaks now and I can't seem to get the pedal or clutch adjusted right.  It doesn't seem like I'm getting full disengagement of the clutch either.  I have to pull the shifter back hard to get it to release.  From what I recall, MS told me a while back that the cable kits were much more reliable.  

I'll have a few days off in 2 weeks I want to try and get the job done.   STEVE I'm going to give you a call tomorrow to discuss.  I want to make sure I get everything I need.  I'm in Dallas, if it's alright with you I might just drive down to you to pick up the kit to make sure I get it in time.  

Did you have the internal bearing or external slave cylinder?  
 

Is it a T5 bellhousing that uses PULL type linkage, like from a foxbody?

Yes, bellhousing is from a foxbody.

And I just remembered one of the reasons I went with the hydraulic system was clearance issues with the original cable routing and the aftermarket headers.  

I'm going to post a video of the clutch action and see if anyone can give me an idea what I need to do.  Getting the hydraulic system to work would save me money and heart ache.  I'm going to give it one more shot to adjust it before switching to the cable system.

TremendousWand : I'm down here in Cleburne.  I'd be happy for you to drive down and grab a kit.  Message me for my number and address.
