until the next issue
Yeah, I do believe that was the part of the statement you cut off. I'm actually doing most of my shifting without the clutch right now trying to forestall the next failure, but this is the most reinforced part I've made yet, I've got some alloy tubing from previous parts that failed bolted to each side.

Meanwhile, how in the world do I cut the slot in the damn speed nut so I can use it as a clip? This without bending the hell of it and rendering it useless?
Short answer ...Dremmel, with a cutting wheel.
The right answer....dont ..go to the car shop and get a new nut with the slot in.
Actually I have a dremel SOMEWHERE that I bought before the accident, anticipating doing things using one. I found myself wondering where I'd put it, but I'd guess it's buried in the garage. . . .
Dang, it's another thread where I mentioned the dealer wouldn't get me one. You made an honest mistake on that. (Unless you read the other thread. Seeing as how people follow me around because I'm the hottest thing in this community. . . .) First they tell me it's not on the diagram and they can't get me one separate and I have to buy a whole new pedal assembly to get the little clip. Riiiiiiiiight. Then I find a Mustang messageboard where a guy claiming to be a Ford dealer parts manager gave the part number. I rushed down to the dealer but would you believe they close at 3 these days? So I ordered it online just in case, but I went back the next day and danged if the guy didn't find a diagram with it in there once he had that number. What a shock, right? Only it could take weeks, as I've gone through with Ford parts the whole time I've had this car.
So when the other part comes, around the same time 4 of these clips will come and i'll be set. But in the meantime while i wasn't here responding to your posts, I was going a few places.
