I want to do a manual conversion on my maverick. Has anybody else done one? i got my hands on a 3 speed from my shop today for free I also want to do a floor shifter too. So right now all i need to get is linkage and a shifter through the floor and get a clutch pedal set up. I figure it wont be that hard to do. Also, was the clutch hydrolic or line activated? Anybody who has some insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
Everything with a Maverick that has been done, can be found here. Here's a link for you : http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=35956
Finding a z bar and clutch pedal assembly looks like is going to be a challenge...lucky there is a old ford junkyard so ill see if I can find the parts there
I still have the original pedal frame that bolts to the firewall and under the dash from when my car was an automatic - I just got the standard pedals, hardware and all of the spacers and everything fits in place of the automatic brake pedal
Sick! So then if I find a Manual maverick all I need to steal is just the clutch/break pedal and hardware that mounts to the frame? So then what about the z bar? I read through the thread and I still want to clarify, 6cyl z bars don't work with 8cyl? So I have to find a mustang z bar and do some mods to it?
I'm going hydraulic with a Tilton clutch master cylinder and a CNC pull type slave cylinder but I do know for sure that the 6 cylinder Z bar is different than the one used on a V8
No V8 was sold in a 69.5/1970 - from 71 and later both the V8 or 6 could be ordered with a standard transmission but it was a 3 speed, shifted either on the column or the floor - no 4 speeds were ever offered in the Maverick
Not all pedals and supports are designed the same. The 74-up is different and early pedals won't swap
