Description
Converting your C3 Corvette from automatic to manual transmission? The clutch pedal assembly is often the most difficult and time-consuming part of the swap. Accessing the under-dash area in a C3 is notoriously tight, and sourcing complete, matching pedal components from donor cars typically means dealing with worn bushings, rusted parts, and mismatched pieces from different model years. This complete manual clutch pedal conversion kit eliminates that frustration by providing everything you need in one package.
The kit centers on a swing-mounted clutch pedal assembly that bolts into the factory pedal bracket location. The included Z-bar (clutch cross shaft) mounts to the frame with the provided pivots and hardware, delivering proper clutch throw geometry for smooth, consistent pedal feel. Factory-style linkage rods with adjusters allow you to dial in the correct free play and engagement point for your specific clutch setup.
This changeover kit covers all 1968-1982 C3 Corvettes - coupes, convertibles, Stingrays, and special editions alike. It provides the essential pedal and linkage components for the conversion but does not include the transmission, bellhousing, clutch assembly, or console shift plate. That flexibility lets you choose your preferred drivetrain setup, whether you're restoring to a factory Muncie 4-speed or upgrading to a modern TREMEC overdrive transmission. This is not an in-stock item - please call 208-453-9800 for availability.
