4 speed set up in a 2013 Challenger

[Mark Yacavone]

Paul, I wouldn't use the hyd. clutch..Too many unknowns .How long since you raced a stick car?
You're going to be using "old school' bell, so why not an earlier fork too?
The pedal should be usable. Just copy the older stuff to get your pivot points and ratios figured out.
Besides header clearance, it seems that you'll be better off with mechanical.

I'm dealing with a factory hydraulic system , only because I have to. I have no starting point for mechanical. :-0

Thanks Mark, As far as me personally driving a stick. Not since I was very young. I have built all Paul Wong's 4 speed cars though if that throws me a bone. Paul will also be the primary driver but who knows. Actually Paul has all the stick stuff except a flywheel. Maybe once I get the engine in. The old pivot bar deal will become a better vision for me to fabricate.
Then I spent all day yesterday looking for an original clutch pedal for the car. Holy cow parts are just not available anymore. Anyone have a clutch pedal set for a 2009-2014 Challenger?

If you have not already, I would check with Cleveland Power and Performance for salvage clutch petal parts.

PM me your email and I'll send you a few pictures of one I did one to give you an idea of what's involved .
I dont have time to resize them for the forum.
If you have good fabrication skills you should be able to do it . takes time to figure the geometry but it's worth it .

Thanks everyone for the help. Appreciate it all!

Will you outline the process of getting an aftermarket piston approved. Was the aftermarket piston identical to the OEM piston as to weight, ring grove size and placement, compression height, and top of the piston?
Thanks

You get extra kool points for having a third petal and fresh air to the engine. Your team has a wealth of knowledge. It looks great hope to see you out with it this year.

Hi Larry,
I might not be the expert to ask since it took almost a year to do so. We bought a stock piston and rod. Try and remove them and you'll know why Chrysler sells rod and piston as one number. We sent that piston to Diamond. They made their purpose piston and sent it with the original and
waited. They called, Paul called, Mike called Pat Cv and he called. I think they were waiting for Chrysler to send the specs to check and re check. They did have Diamond change something. Got resubmitted and it made the books. That is Mike's writing on the piston and he loves to gab on the phone. Give him a call he'll give you all the ups and downs he has had.

Another delay came when the original matching heads were sent to Don Little. He called and notified me the head number wasn't in the books. I researched it and will add the picture to limit my bad spelling. I called Pat Cv and basically he told me he would summit it and it might take 6-8 months at that time to get corrected. I didn't want to hold up Don so I ordered the correct heads.
