I am considering swapping out my C4 for a 5 speed Tremec. I have a 93GT original 5 speed. The clutch pedal is still in the car but nothing else. Any ideas as to what it would take to convert back to a 5 speed? I am thinking about a Tremec TKO, but I'm more concerned with the factory clutch components

A trans, bell housing, clutch, cross member etc etc. The pedals are really the hard part.

ok great to hear because lucky for me it's an original 5 speed and I stuffed the clutch pedal underneath the rug when I built the car. I am more concerned about the hydraulic pump and whatever linkage I need to connect the pedal to the pump

The Tremec 3550, TKO, TKO 500/600 use a different bellhousing from the original T5.

The clutch quadrant needs to be replaced if you use any type of aftermarket cable or adjuster. My preference is a Ford Racing quadrant, adjustable cable and Steeda firewall adjuster. The adjustable Ford Racing cable is just as good as the stock OEM cable. It allows a greater range of adjustment than a stock cable with a aftermarket quadrant and firewall adjuster. Combined with the Steeda adjuster, it lets you set the initial cable preload and then fine tune the clutch engagement point to your liking without getting under the car.

Using a stock OEM cable, firewall adjuster and a single hook quadrant may result in not having any free pedal travel before the clutch starts to disengage. I found this out the hard way.

See Summit Racing - High Performance Car and Truck Parts l 800-230-3030 for the following parts.

Ford Racing M-7553-B302 - Ford Racing V-8 Mustang Adjustable Clutch Linkage Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com Cable and quadrant assembly $90

The Ford Racing Adjustable cable is available as a separate part:

Thats good info thanks nice fix lol. So when selecting a transmission what's the max hp for the manual trannys? Tremec 3550, TKO, TKO 500/600 and Tremec T56 Magnum? I'm running a 393W swap not the original 5.0
