I think it's cheaper and better in the long run to swap to the single mass since you'll be there. You do get a bit more low end noise, but once your over 5mph that goes away.

The T-case and trans W/adapter should have the linkage with it ... if not E-bay it ..

I agree, Go with a flat plate and ditch the DMF ...

and with that said .. i have had mine for 5 years, my disc looks like new, just pulled engine and all out for major work ... So exciting ..

The floor pan section around the shifter is handy to have as it unbolts from the floor. Also need the pedal cage for under the dash which must be from the same generation of truck, 87-91 if referring to your sig truck. It can be from an F-150/250/350, but needs to have the same dash your truck does otherwise it wont fit. Don't forget the clutch hydraulics as well.
