Keisler 5-speed conversion on Early A-body: Install has begun
I just noticed that the shifter handle in the image I posted was the stubby I used when I first got the car back on the road. I will have to actually take a new photo of the handle I spoke of! I posted an earlier shot of the handle in the car, but the "custom-ness" is covered by the boot.
I have attached a couple shots of the Mcleod hydraulic throwout. It is available in a few different configurations for the Tremec, the difference being the starting position of the piston attached to the bearing. At the time, Mcleod sold the pistons separately in case with stack height of the pressure plate and clutch fingers you needed to change the starting position. Changing the piston was easy (my friend had to do it for his Valiant) and the o-ring design makes rebuilds look simple. I really like the fact that it makes the header clearance in the location where the fork usually resides plentiful.
