Manual parts needed now! Please.

Things are financially looking better for me these days and I'm ready to buy some parts.... I need all the parts to convert my cougar to a manual (i.e. clutch pedals, cables, mounting hardware, etc.). Everything that I need to connect pedals to a transmission and more. I do not have a T5 yet, but I'm looking. Can you help???

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

The Cougar has an 8 cyl... I'm looking for a tranny, but I need all the parts needed to attach to the car to convert it over... I'm thinking all the parts off of a XR7 or Turbo Coupe would work fine.

Turbo coupes have hydraulic clutches, is that what you're looking for?

find a fox body mustang to part out... that is the cheapest way... I got my whole setup out of an 85 ascmaclaren that I found in the back yard of an old farm. pedals bolted right in cable fits perfectly where the speedo cable ran. I just moved my speedo cable over an inch.

total cost was 200 bucks. for everything. it takes time to find deals like this but they are out there just look.

erm 87-88 turbocoupes are the only fox's with the hydro clutch if i am not mistaking..  83-86 turbocoupes, Xr7,  most of your fox mustangs will work well for you too  take a quick peak at the local wrecking yards

Don't use the T5 out of a Turbo Coupe/XR-7; they are internally set up for a 4-banger and they usually grenade when you hook a V8 up to them.
Look for a World Class T5 out of a Crustang.

By the way, I have a brand new clutch cable (non-adjustable) as well as a mint condition boot and shift .

I would assume you mean an 85+ T-5?
