Author Topic: any tips on installin a clutch quadrant in auto? LXman25thANNV. ¯ Member # 5359 posted                              I am swapping in a t-5 in my 1990 5.0 automatic. I have been told that installing the qluthc quadrant is a B!TCH. Is there any way to use the original quadrant made for an automatic? If not then is do you have any tips on installing it? oh yeah any one need a rebuilt auto with overdrive?

You cannot re-use the stock auto pedals. -------------------- 1965 Shelby Cobra 1993 Cobra 2012 F150 Raptor 2020 GT500 Posts: 6523 | From: Orlando FL/Redding CA | Registered: Mar 2002  |  : LXman25thANNV. ¯ Member # 5359 posted                              i have a quadrant....i was just hoping there was a kit something...time to go spend a ton of hours swearing.

I have done it without taking the seat out but its not worth it. Stick the quadrant on the new pedal assembly and put it in place...only 5 or 6 bolts hold the pedal assembly in. A really long extention helps a lot too. If you need someone to do it, or the pedal assembly PM me. I might be interested in your tranny also. Is it an AOD? lmk.

Piece of cake. That's what I did. -------------------- Currently Mustang-less...
