In Reply to: Need help. Have a couple of questions about converting from a 3 sp. to a C4 posted by Mike S. on October 03, 2000 at 23:07:26:
rod in the steering is for locking device and safety switch switch, the linkage needs to be either removed or locked in the position for starting an steering. I take it that you're using a floor shifter. You'll need some type of starter safety switch in it.
The brake pedal is different due to mounting holes only as long as you stay with the type you have pwoer or manual brakes.
Crossmemebr is the same, the mount on the trans itself is different
And don't forget you'll need a trans cooler.
driveshaft yokes are probably different, not sure on that one, and the length is probably different to. Not hard to change. You can use the old diff end and get a C-4 yoke and driveshaft and have it rewelded and balanced to your length.
: 1. Is the actuating rod for the master cylinder the same size from a 3 pedal system to a 2 pedal system. I have a '76 mav. that had a 3 spd. in it, converting to a C4. Using a 2 pedal system from a '72 Grabber. Are they the same? I would reuse the rod from the 3 pedal system.
: 2. What all do I need to do to eliminate the shifter linkage from the steering column? Can I gut it out. I heard somewhere that you need to wiring up a switch. What switch, where?
: 3. Is the driveshaft and trans mount. the same?
: Any help to any of these questions is much appreciated. If you've done this conversion, please email me with your experience and tips.
: Thank you!!
