Guest Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Can anyone tell me if the clutch linkage for a 1965 Jetstar 88 (330 equipped and with 3 spd on the column) would be essentially the same as that for a 425-equipped fullsize car with standard shift? I am thinking I can use these parts for a 4-spd converison...yes ANOTHER one! (Rocketraider, your advice here in particular would sure be appreciated!) Thanks...Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Shop manual detail drawings are identical for 5200 J88 and 54-56-58-6600 series. The kick is that there is a first type and a second type clutch linkage. That shouldn't make any difference as long as you get ALL of it, both underhood and underdash. Biggest difference I see is the bracket that mounts the equalizer and return spring to the frame is different- second type is longer.Did you get that 4-speed that was on e-bay a while back?

Guest Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Thanks, Rocketraider...looks like I am going for those clutch parts for sure...and I think I better make sure I get the accelerator linkage too (sans trans kickdown). The "deal" is still pending.Turns out a friend of mine bought that trans/shifter combo that was on Ebay. Maybe between the two of us we'll have the whole she-bang! Only thing left I can see we'd need to do is to make up a driveshaft. Think that J88 piece would work? Dunno with a 3 spd.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
