Description
Converting a '71-'73 Mustang or Cougar from automatic to manual has always been complicated by the unique pedal assembly design of these model years. Factory manual pedal assemblies are scarce and expensive, often commanding $400-$500 when you can find them. This MDL clutch pedal solves that problem by allowing you to add a proper clutch pedal to your existing automatic pedal support - eliminating the need for a costly and hard-to-find factory manual assembly swap.
The standout feature is the removable pivot shaft design, which dramatically simplifies installation compared to factory units with pressed-in shafts. You can install, remove, or service this pedal without specialized tools or risk of damaging the pedal support housing. The laser-cut steel construction ensures precise geometry that matches OEM specifications, while CNC-formed bends deliver the clean lines and exact fit that sloppy reproduction parts can't match.
When converting from automatic, your stock pedal support is reused - you simply trim the left side of the automatic brake pedal to create a manual-width brake pad. This pedal works seamlessly with MDL cable clutch conversion kits, hydraulic master cylinder setups, or traditional mechanical Z-bar linkage systems. The powder coat finish protects against corrosion and wear while maintaining a factory-correct appearance under the dash.
Designed specifically for the 1971-1973 Mustang and Cougar chassis, this pedal represents the kind of engineered solution that makes MDL the go-to source for classic Ford drivetrain conversions. Proudly made in the USA.
