Hi Bruce, the trans shifts perfectly, my problem is the hard pedal effort.

I think the problem I have is the clutch fork is not long enough to give the leverage that's needed because it is the stock clutch fork that was used with a z bar linkage in the 64' Fairlane.

I assume the z bar mechanism had a longer lever from the pivot to the end where the rod to the clutch pedal is attached versus the shorter lever from the pivot to where the push rod for the clutch fork is attached.

So when using this kind of clutch fork with a clutch cable the pedal is pretty hard to push.

I've come to this conclusion after I tried several master and slave cylinder combinations, relocated the pedal assembly and installed a longer clutch pedal and a clutch cable, and changed the long style pressure plate to a less aggressive diaphragm style and nothing helped.

Do you think the clutch fork (as shown above in one of my previous posts) could cause this problem? If it does, what fork could I use for this transmission?
