i'm continuing my auto to manual swap today, i just got my pedals, clutch cable and linkage in the mail yesterday. the connection for the clutch cable to the actual clutch pedal seems strange, there isn't a way to securely put the clutch cable on the pedal. am i missing a part? can someone post a pic of what it is supposed to look like to see if i am missing a part? i can also take a pic and email someone so they may be able to help me. suncay is my only day off and i want to take full advantage of it. thanks guys

 

Bump while I run out to look at the pedal assembly in my garage, I'm planning a swap also.

 

I think it just hooks right over the little knobbed in section at the very top of the clutch pedal piece.

 

then its safe to assume that it just gets tension when you hook it to the tranny?

 

I can't remember where I read this, but it's sposed to be tight when it's attached without the clutch pushed in. Some guy left it loose with the clutch out and when he started it up with the clutch in it only took up the slack and instead of disengaging the clutch, it did nothing and the car almost jumped into his living room. So just make sure it is pulled tight with the clutch out, so when you depress the pedal it will disengage the clutch.

 

thanks for the info-glad i am not missing any parts

 

Good luck, lemme know how it turns out.

 

The cable shouldn't be adjusted too tight. You should have a small amount of freeplay at the pedal before it actually starts to pull the cable. Check a manual for the exact spec, but it should be something like 1/4-1/2".

 

thanks 420

 

Damn, 420's a lot, what tranny are you gonna use, si? That might cost more than my free/20 dollar tranny.

 

yup, si tranny
