Description
Factory plastic pedal bushings are one of the most common failure points in classic Mustang clutch systems. They wear quickly, creating sloppy pedal feel, increased effort, and inconsistent clutch engagement. This roller bearing kit permanently solves that problem by replacing those soft plastic pieces with steel roller bearings that deliver smooth, precise pedal action for years.
The roller bearing design dramatically reduces friction at the pivot point, translating directly to lighter pedal effort and more tactile clutch feel. Instead of fighting a sticky, binding pedal during spirited driving, you get consistent engagement every time. The zinc-plated roller bearing supports clip directly into your existing factory mounting points, maintaining OEM appearance while delivering superior durability.
For pedal hangers that show wear from years of use, the kit includes a reinforcement washer that can be welded in place to restore structural integrity before installing the new bearings. This is a straightforward upgrade once the pedal support assembly is removed from the vehicle. Note that 1969-1973 applications may require minor modification to the pedal bracket assembly for proper fitment.
Designed as a direct replacement for Ford part number C5ZZ-2478-RB, this kit fits 1965-1973 Mustangs and works with many other Ford applications from the same era. If your clutch pedal feels agricultural instead of precise, worn bushings are likely the culprit - and this kit is the permanent fix.
