Forte's external slave kit
Hi Tony,
I'm glad I could get this all back together and driving. I know so many that have had failed hydraulic throw out bearings I have developed so many external slave/fork setups I would have to think of all of the applications.
429-460 Ford
FE Ford
SB Ford
Nailhead Buick,
GM Olds Pontiac
Chevrolet
T-56 Magnum & more coming as I find need.

Unfortunately they didn't have an open lift when I picked it up this morning so I wasn't able to get pictures. I'll have to put it up on jack stands to put the seats and stuff back again so I'll get some then (probably over Christmas weekend). The driver's set is just sitting there and I didn't have any harnesses installed but I took it for a quick spin (to put 22.8 gallons of gas in the 23 gallon tank  ) and boy does it feel nice.
To summarize the whole clutch system was replaced. The McLeod HTOB was ditched, Mike Forte's external slave and a new bigger bore master.
Still for sale, but at least it's correct. |

In 1993 Mike made the first conversion of a Ford Tremec to GM 5-speed. It bolts to stock bellhousings w/out an adapter. The FE Tremec, the Mustang adjustable quadrant are originals from Mike.
