Hi John,

For reference I'm using these pictured from ebay:

1992 automatic transmission brake pedal assembly: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/U8oAAOSwqaJaYWUY/s-l1600.jpg

1992 manual transmission combined brake clutch pedal assembly: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/o14AAOSw8-FaVSQR/s-l1600.jpg


Yes. It does appear that the pedal assemblies for automatic and manual transmissions are quite different and it would be very difficult to add a clutch pedal to the brake assembly for the automatic. What I am suggesting is replacing the (single pedal) brake pedal assembly with the (two pedal) combined clutch brake pedal assembly from a manual transmission F-150. It appears that the single pedal assembly is bolted to the firewall/vacuum booster/master cylinder with 4 bolts through the firewall plus 2 bolts to a cross member above the assembly (probably the dash support).  Removing these 6 bolts and the linkage to the brake master cylinder would allow the removal of this assembly.  It appears that 5 of the 6 bolt holes can be reused to attach the combined two pedal assembly.  If the cross member does not a have hole properly aligned for the attachment of the dual pedal assembly a new hole would need to be drilled.  Reconnect brake master cylinder the linkage and you would now have the brake setup as original but with a clutch pedal flopping on the outboard side of the brake pedal.

Two additional holes may need to be drilled for attaching the clutch master cylinder to the firewall and a hole cut for the linkage to the clutch master cylinder.  Then attach the clutch master cylinder to the firewall and the clutch pedal. Install the slave cylinder on the transmission/bell housing. Install the hydraulic tubing between master cylinder and the slave cylinder.

That being said, this does not answer your original question but is rather a follow on to another another suggestion.

To address though not actually answer your original question:


I have been looking for linear actuators to replace the shift and selector cables.  he cables take up too much space in the engine compartment of my Fiero - space where  would rather put batteries.  So I have been looking to this a little.  In general what I've found is that it is difficult to fine speed force and travel that would meet my requirements.  I can have to of the three, almost any two but not all three.  But this site might be worth a look for your problem.

<https://www.progressiveautomations.com/linear-actuators/stroke/1-inch/force/150-lbs>

Click on the shopping cart to configure what you want.  I chose 1" - 150 lbs and the only speed option was 0.59 inches per second.  which means it would take 1.7 seconds to move the full 1".  This may be a little slower that what your looking for. There may be other configuration options that would work for you.


Hope this helps


Cliff

Perhaps F-150s had a hydraulic clutch for some years.  More research is
required but you may be able to pick up a used one at a salvage yard.
Yes, ford trucks have had hydraulic clutches for years.
As I have said, the problem is MOUTING the clutch pedal.
This truck was originally an automatic, the pedal mounting system is completely 
different from the manual transmission version of the truck.
