Looking to convert my Avanti from the BW auto to a 4spd. The tranmission is Stude T-10, but I'll be needing all the clutch mechanisms, from pedals to forks. Anyone done this before and can provide a list of all components needed? Was the Avanti's components any different from Hawk's or Lark's?
If anyone has any of these parts I'm in the market.

Other then the shifter, all same as Lark. Other then all the clutch stuff, you'll need a drive shaft and longer flywheel to crank shaft bolts.

The hard part will be the clutch pivot that mounts on the 4 speed trans and the speedo cable, the rest could come off a 3 speed V8 Lark parts car.

I am in the process of converting a 3 speed Lark to a 4 speed. The clutch pivot on it is in the same place as on the 3 speed. Is the Avanti different from the Lark? Or should the Lark I am putting the 4 speed in have a different pivot mount?

My bad, it's the Hawk that needs the rare pivot. It's on the frame on Lark's and Avanti's. I just had N8's 55 coupe conversion in my head.

Thanks John, I thought I was missing something on the Lark.

I bought a 62 Hawk 4 spd T-10 when i went to a meet in Kansas a couple years ago, has a mount on it, just thought i may need it some day, looks good on the inside, but someone welded another handle on the shifter, Has the Chevy bolt pattern.

I am pulling the T- 10 from my 53 coupe today to do the 5 speed install. and I wanted to offer the T-10 here before I put it on eBay. It has about
3000 miles on it since all new sycros and small parts kit was installed. and it comes with a Hurst shifter. It is the Chevy pattern. $550.00 plus shipping. Email me if interestedIt's B92, Paul Johnson's motor that was rescued from a European backwater]
Cool Cadet! Glad it f> I am pulling the T- 10 from my 53 coupe today to do the 5 speed install.
