    I'm finally getting ready to swap my C4 Transmission with a 4 speed. I have everything but the springs that are required. Can somebody lead me in the right direction? I have looked on Mustang Unlimiteds websight, but there are several different spring and want to make sure I get the right ones. The only spring I have is the Blue one on the pedal assembly, but I'll probably replace it also. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Mike

    Bigsmo92, are you going to use a clutch cable, hydraulic throwout bearing or the z-bar type. I went with the cable and do not use a pedal spring.

    Using a z-bar here, I removed the big blue spring when I went to a diaphram clutch and have a spring from the release lever to the shock tower that I picked up at Lowes, LOL.

    Thanks Guys,
    I have the old springs. I'm just going to take them in to our machine shop at work and match them up as close as I can.
    Thanks again for the responses, Mike
