please for give me when i try to explain the problem. me and my buddy own a 1984 capri we both have looked and have now been able to find proper names for these parts. we went to a ford dealer and they stop makeing them.
its the part the clutch cable hook in to tranny side not pedal. on our car it hooks in to a flat 1/8 to 3/16th metal plate that has a hole in the center that with a pipe thats 1" dim welded to it.it hooks in to one end. if you hold it one way it looks like a t. the othere way a flat plate with a hole and a pipe welded in. a rod goes thru the pipe with needle bearings and spacers ect. one end of the rod goes in to the bell houseing with a clip holding it in. on the othere end it hooks in to some part that looks like dog bone(dont know what else to call it).
the dog bone hooks in to the part that pivits and presses on the clutch face.
the part bassically redriects the pull on the clutch.
the parts we need are new bearing's shims ect and the rod it pivits on.
side not the 2 pages the ford guy printed out with parts number shows 2 different setup but both are titled for the same car. one showing just the bellhouseing setup and one showing part of it but mainly the hook up for the clutch pedal.
the page showing mainly the pedal hook up shows the bell houseing it a different bell houseing and in steed of a arm going in side the houseing and pushing the clutch towards the fly wheel it shows how it would pivite and pull out.
i know this very confusing and iam sorry .....if any one has worked on these trans please let me know. my buddy i own the car with hasn't really seen this setup befor. he went to uti and took the ford classes for crying out loud and was top of his class.
so please if any one nows any ways to fix this a place to get the parts ect let me know. i had a idea of turning the rod down and installing sealed bearings but not sure if the rod would be stiff enough with a race clutch.
