Manual trans stuff is here
« on: December 20, 2021, 06:16:35 PM »
Got my parts Today. I can see a few things I'll need to come up with. Rubber boots, the adjustment linkage and release bearing spring. Also dust cover. Anybody reproducing the items I need? Flywheel is in a box under the bellhousing.

The rubber boot is repo'd by the Buick Farm. They may have it listed on eBay too.
The spring- Sean at paintworks had some extras made up.
Flywheel cover- One from a Dynaflow will fit with a few mods. I did a how-to, it's somewhere on this site...
The lower adjustable linkage- you can make one using a yoke from McMaster/Grainger and some threaded rod.

Do you have the lower frame bracket? It bolts on. At least you got the upper mount, that's the hard one to find. The lower can be fabbed, I had to make one.

Here's the repo release bearing spring offered by Sean:

Another option is to get a spring from Lee Spring and bend the ends. We had discussed this over on V8 (15 year ago!):

Yessir, I ordered the spring from Sean and found and purchased 2 NOS throwout bearing assemblies. Brian Stone is providing me with the adjuster arm assy and clutch pedal rod. Found a Dynaflow dust cover and it looks like I've got a Muncie M13 3 speed located. Now I just need to find a car to put it all in
