A couple of questions from a newbie.

[cc2fingers]

Two Questions: Does anyone know if Hurst (or Ford) makes some sort of bushing kit for the Shelby shifters? And: Is there a dry type air filter that will replace the factory Shelby one?
Thanks!

And just one more> Is there a way to adjust the clutch pedal throw? I have to mash the pedal to the floor to get it to start and to cleanly shift. Is that normal?

..the pedal needs to be pushed down to the floor ..to start the car. That is correct. And for a proper gaer change..it is a good idea to use the FULL travel /way of the clutch pedal. ... also normal.

Try https://iihs.net/fsm/?d=263&f=Clutch System Bleeding.pdf for your clutch. It will improve the hydraulic aspect of clutch operation. I've done it a couple times on my now 17-year-old Mustang. It has helped.

Yes. Summit sells the bushing kit for the shifter.

FWIW a braided clutch line helps with this.

i found also ,, that when i installed a separate Clutch line reservoir ,
the clutch stayed consistent ,,

this is somthing every s197 owner should do ,, its easy and should have been done at factory imo

it says 2010 and up but it works fine for our year,, its what i have cuz i didnt want to spend big bucks on the shelby one..
i can show u pics if u want ,, altho i think i did a post on here when i installed it

I remember a clutch fluid reservoir from GM that fits also.
