The “Z - bar” clutch linkage that is used on Falcons and Comets might have been ok when these cars were born, but modern technology has given us many better alternatives. Additionally, the only time I ever had a serious road problem with my original Sprint was when the “Z - bar” split at the frame rail mount, driving home 20 miles bump starting the car at every traffic light is not
something worth repeating. Ranger parts presented two problems; the master cylinder mounts on an angled firewall (the Falcon firewall is straight) and the slave cylinder has no flanged mounting points. Several cars were checked out before finding a 1991 Mazda 626. The transmission had been removed (front wheel drive) but the slave cylinder was resting on the radiator. Taking
advantage of an existing bell housing bolt and an extra hole in T-5 (5-speed) transmission mounting plate adaptor a two
piece mounting bracket with a rod welded to it was fabricated. The fulcrum distance on the Mazda pedal was transferred to the Falcon pedal. The push rod location on the Mazda pedal was very close to the original Falcon pedal, but it was on the left side of the pedal, opposite of the Falcon push rod. A hole was drilled through the pedal for a 5/16” grade 8 bolt. Dot 3 brake fluid is used as the hydraulic fluid. Fill the jar on top of the master cylinder and open the bleed screw on the slave cylinder. The system took only a
couple of pumps of the pedal to remove the air from the lines. Comparing clutch fork travel with my other Falcon indicated that there would be no issues with clutch plate disengagement.
