Frank Wyatt Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I need a clutch pedal lever, it's part # is E1TZ-7A554-A. It bolts to the cross shaft underneath the dash. If anybody has one in good shape I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise I guess I could try my hand at welding it up and then making the hole round again instead of friction slotted. It's lever 7A554 in the pucture from Documatation. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Wyatt Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 there'sa a manual '88 in a yard ...not quite local . is this what you need? No, because Ford went to a hydraulic clutch in 1983 and that part got changed and will not work on a manual clutch truck. The part I need was only used in 1981 and 1982. Also, my truck is a F 150, the truck in the picture appears to be a Ford Ranger, no interchangeable parts on them for the F 150 that I know of.

I would welded it and grind / drill / file back into shape. If the lever is out of shape what is the rod going thru the floor to the cross shaft like? I had to weld and grind / file all my linkage so I could use it. BTW I had 2 trucks and both were bad. Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave ---- From what I have seen so far the rod looks pretty good, some wear but not really much to speak of. With the plastic bushings that are supposed to be there just a dab of JB would likely be sufficient. The major wear is on the lever with maybe about a 16th worth of wear on the opposite end of the rod. That rod seems to be a harder steel than the lever that pushes against it. If a lever doesn't come looking for a new home I'll likely be welding it up when my pal, Mitchel gets back from vacation. I was going to go check out the salvage yard today but it blew up a pretty good rain storm this morning. I still need to set my glider swing back upright that got blown over on my porch. I wonder if I could find a thin brass bushing to go there in place of the plastic bushings? Even if I had to enlarge the hole slightly, I don't see why that just might work, definitely stronger than plastic for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-F150-Explorer Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I am in need or will be in need of a few of those parts too down the road. Making these parts, or to have someone weld them up would also be of great service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making these parts, or to have someone weld them up would also be of great service. When I first fixed my 81 linkage, welding, grinding, filing, I used new plastic bushings. Well they did not last a year so I went with hardware store brass bushings. Yes I did need to drill out the holes a little to fit them. They been in for a few years now. The thing I have a worry on is the motor side pivot of the frame cross shaftn on my 300 motor. The one with the truck I fixed 3 times before I was able to find one on Ebay, still looking for another cheap. I had to use the one I got off the bay before I had time to get others made from a local machine shop. Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
