| Post subject: | Interchangeability Manual Shift Linkage Questions |
Done a lot of looking here and abroad but can't really find a clear answer. My 1960 Valiant has the tilted A903 manual trans but no floor shifter and no clutch linkage. I do have the z-bar and trans side bracket but no frame side ball mount. There is a guy local to me that is parting out a /6 1966 valiant manual trans with the column shifter. Question is can I use any of the clutch linkage with the floor mount z-bar? Are they different between the earlier cars? I don't want to convert over to the column shift (I am aware that the floor shifter might be hard to source). |

Having no luck finding info on the early transmission clutch linkages. I should clarify that the z-bar I have has the three bolt frame bracket but I am missing the ball stud as shown here (circled in orange and pic cribbed from FABO)  Anyone know if that interchanges? Or the dimensions? Can't find anything online-lots of z-bar rebuild for 63 and up. |

And the clutch fork linkage-is it specific to 60-62? The end looks different. |

The clutch fork looks like the one in my '65, which was originally from a '64 Dart. The ball stud may be available from the Mopar transmission specialist's. They do sell a version that bolts on. The nylon bushings for the z bar seems to be the same for all years. |

The best pic I can find that comes close to the setup.  The clutch release fork looks to have two eye fittings with the adjuster in the center. That I might have to fab up. The upper clutch rod I am also missing. Just a matter of determining the correct length and offset. Similar to this.  I don't see any reason that just any 9/16" coarse thread ball stud would work as long as it threads into the bellhousing. |

And the best tool I just picked up (for free I might add!) is a set of SAE tap and dies in both coarse and fine threads. Only up to 5/16" but already been chasing threads. |

That's the same clutch setup as my '65 Dart uses. |
