Overview
Converting a classic Mustang or Cougar to a modern 5-speed typically means abandoning your original mechanical clutch linkage in favor of hydraulics. This Fulcrum Adapter Kit eliminates that compromise by creating the proper fulcrum pivot point for your factory 1966-1973 flat spring style clutch fork inside a later Fox-body aluminum bellhousing. Keep your Z-bar linkage, keep your mechanical pedal feel, and gain the gearing of a modern transmission.
The adapter mounts with two precisely located holes drilled into your aluminum bellhousing, creating a secure fulcrum point that positions the early fork correctly for proper throwout bearing engagement. The solid steel construction handles the leverage forces of repeated clutch actuation without deflection or wear. This is the straightforward solution for builders who want modern transmission performance without abandoning the simplicity and reliability of mechanical clutch operation.
Designed for 1966-1973 Mustang and 1967-1973 Cougar applications using Fox-body V8 aluminum bellhousings paired with T5, SROD, 3550, TKO, or TKX transmissions. Note: If your engine block is not equipped with a Z-bar mounting hole, the Z-bar Clutch Pivot Bracket (Item# MD-401-2019) completes the conversion.
