Upgrade your classic Ford clutch pedal system with this precision roller bearing repair kit from California Pony Cars.

Worn factory bushings are the primary cause of clutch pedal slop, lateral shaft movement, and inconsistent engagement — issues that no clutch adjustment can permanently correct. This kit eliminates the original sliding-contact design and replaces it with precision needle roller bearings, converting friction into rolling contact.

The result is a permanently tighter pedal assembly, smoother operation, reduced effort, and long-term durability under both street and performance use.

This is a mechanical upgrade — not a reproduction of the original wear-prone design.

Every component required for a complete shaft and bushing repair is included. Made in USA. Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

What's Included in the Roller Bearing Repair Kit

• Heavy-Duty Pedal Shaft (x1) — high-strength direct replacement, dimensionally correct for all compatible manual transmission applications
• Precision Needle Roller Bearings (x2) — replaces sliding bushings with rolling-element contact, eliminating radial play and restoring pedal precision
• Nylon Support Bushings (x2) — reduces bracket contact friction and extends overall system life
• Retaining Rings (x2) — secures shaft and bearing assembly in proper axial position
• Precision Shims (x4) — correct lateral positioning and eliminate side-to-side shaft movement
• Spring Wave Disc Washer (x1) — maintains consistent axial preload and prevents long-term pedal feel variation
• Self-Locking Retention Pin (x1) — positive shaft retention that will not migrate under repeated clutch actuation

Vehicle Compatibility

This kit fits a broad range of classic Ford manual transmission vehicles sharing the same pedal shaft and bracket geometry:

• Ford Mustang — 1964½–1973 (coupe, fastback, convertible)
• Mercury Cougar — 1967–1973
• Ford Fairlane — 1966–1970
• Ford Falcon — 1966–1970

• Ford Comet — 1971–1973
• Ford Maverick — 1970–1973
• Compatible with other classic Ford cars and select Ford trucks sharing the same pedal shaft specification

Manual transmission vehicles only. Direct-fit installation — no bracket modification required.

Part Number: TRA-643-716

Why Upgrade to Roller Bearings

• Eliminates pedal shaft slop — precision bearings maintain radial alignment under load, permanently removing lateral movement
• Smoother, lighter pedal feel — rolling-element contact significantly reduces pivot friction, especially noticeable with higher spring-rate pressure plates
• Engineered for performance use — greater radial load capacity than factory bushings
• Permanent design improvement — unlike standard bushing kits that replicate the original wear pattern, this kit changes the mechanism itself
• Made in USA — manufactured by California Pony Cars in Ontario, California — not imported from overseas

Important Notes

This kit is a functional performance upgrade over the original Ford bushing specification — not a concours-correct reproduction. For best results, remove the pedal assembly from the vehicle before installation and inspect the pedal support bracket bore for cracks or distortion before installing the new shaft.

Installation & Technical Support

Installation requires standard hand tools. The pedal shaft is a direct replacement for factory mounting locations on all listed applications.
