Hey guys, I ran into a ridiculous problem that no one in honda-tech seem to have, so I thought I would post to take advantage of you're knowledge. So I am in the middle of a B18C (GSR) full swap into my 93 civic coupe. This is also a auto-manual conversion. The problem is that, when I bolt the new brake and gas pedals on (pedals from a 5 speed car), it rubs against the steering column, therefore the brakes would cease to function. I have tried both the 5 speed GSR integra pedal assembly and the 5 speed civic EG pedals, but both seem to not work.

What are my options here guys!?? I have read somewhere else that you are suppose to unbolt the steering column first and then install the pedals, but does this make a difference? Also, would it be a problem if I just used my stock auto brake and throttle pedals and add a clutch pedal. I know the auto brake pedal is a lot wider, but if it works, then it is better than nothing. Please give me your thoughts, as well as other solutions to my problem!! Thanks in advance!

yes you can use the auto pedals and add a clutch. however, the easiest way to do this is to just remove the column all together and install the pedals. reinstall column and your done. i spent 4 hours [freak]ing with a pedal swap, and after i dropped the column it took 20 mins. yes i was pissed as **** after i saw it took 20 mins by removing the column

Okay guys, I have it figured out in case they're others that are having this problem. Essentially, when doing this auto-manual conversion, you need 94' 5-speed honda civic specific pedals. With the other EG year pedal sets, they by-pass the steering column by being slanted to the right; this is the major problem as the stock auto brake pedal by-passes it to the left. This is why the 94' 5-speed civic pedal assemblies are essential as they are slanted to the left, thus not rubbing the steering column.
