Default '91 DA pedal assembly in my '88 EF?

I am doing a manual swap on my CRX and i wanted to know if Integra LS pedals would drop in or if i was better off getting civic/crx pedal assembly?

I wouldn't even bother, there are several different ones even within the EF chassis. Try to get same year with same options if possible (Cruise especially). I just had a nightmare going from 90 DX hatch to 90 EX, and had to mod the pedal cluster due to one car having cruise. (5 Speed swap)

Not true. I just did this swap, and the 90DX hatch cluster was not a direct fir into my 90 EX sedan. I was stck with no option, so I did a lot of cutting and welding on it to make it fit. I think the main factor in the large differences was that the DX one did not have cruise, but not 100% sure.

Am currently seriously stressed out on this same subject. I am in the middle of the swap...although I am only swaping because my 89 CRX Si clutch pedal bracket broke so I wanted the DA one since its WAYY stronger. I know that 6 of the 7 bolts line up perfectly so you need to either take out the stud that goes into the hole right next to your accelerator or make a hole so that the stud clears it. The part I am stuck in is getting the damn clutch cable to work because the DA clutch pedal goes in farther than the CRX one so you need a longer cable. I bought an integra one and I am still having trouble getting it in. I know it has been done before but I cannot find any info on this!! If anyone knows let me know!!!! I want to go home for spring break!!!! HAHA

So I was finally able to get the clutch cable mounted to it but have not been able to drive it yet. It seems like it will be fine, however, if i was you, I would get the 90 91 CRX SI clutch pedal bracket//assembly (as I heard it is stronger than the 88 89 and should bolt right in) and reinforce it before you do the swap. Broken clutch brackets are the worst PIA I have ever messed with and it would suck to have to do it again!

Yes, I am a complete idiot. I unbolted a pedal cluster from a 1990 DX Hatch, and decided to randomly cut and weld on it for no reason to make it fit in my 1990 EX Sedan . I am assuming (Because I am not a honda guy typically, and have not seen any other pedal clusters) that the difference in the 2 clusters (Pedal cluster so you are not too confused again ) was because of the CC option, as most of the differences were at the gas pedal end of the cluster (And the CC cluster had an entire section welded on that the non-CC cluster did not have). After welding this on, only the pivot point for the gas pedal had to be moded, as it is 1/4" or so different. In the future, I would suggest either having done the exact swap between the same cars if you or going to comment, or keep quiet and not be an ***, as you have clearly not done a pedal swap from a 90 DX hatch to a 90 EX sedan, but felt free to call me an idiot because "I have no idea what I'm talking about".

Damn, I guess I got PwN3d then. I am not sure what your problem is, but the pedal cluster is definately not the same in my particular situation, and I was trying to inform the OP so that they could benefit from expierience from my swap, but I am really sorry that you are offended because it differs from what you know to be "True". I have been building custom cars for years, is is not a "Guess" on my part, this was definately a difference. I am really sorry the knowlege I chose to share offended you. Why are you so offended? Have you done a DX hatch to EX sedan pedal cluster swap and found different?

On a side note, on the swap that you did, was the swap CC to CC car, or Non-CC to Non-CC car? This may help future swappers and help to confirm if this is the difference causing factor in the clusters. I am here to learn and contribute with what I know to be fact, not fight, because I want to think I am always right.

Hey Intocable did you really do the DA pedals in there and it only needed a drilled hole? because if you really did it i might do it. I dont want to injure myself doing it for no reason. I had back surgery recently and this will be my first project since. So if you really did it just guide me a bit. Also i agree with you, DA pedals are much stronger.

Well i dont have DC pedals, i have DA pedals. They are CC and my CRX does not have CC, i am guessing it wont work even with mod? i have a welder, and several air tools that cut so i can fab them up, but well see. When the rain stops ill check it out.

hi i am new to posts

i need some help

is there a difference between a clutch pedal bracket or clutch cable bracket ?

is it one in the same ?

You see a new clutch was put in my 1990 CRX and when they test drove it, they called and told me that the bracket that holds the clutch pedal broke.

They said they would have to find one as honda dont make them anymore or Weld it

Whats your thoughts

thanks

well there are 2 brackets for the clutch cable, one under the dash and one on the tranny.

its most likely the one under the dash. but you would be really lucky if it wasnt (as its a pain to replace).

I would repair and reinforce it, or look for one at a junkyard, either a crx one or one from a 90-93 integra (DA). The integra assembley is a bit stronger so I have heard.

So what cable did you end up using and how did you get it to mount to the clutch fork and pedal assembly? Would be helpful to the rest of us if you gave a little insight on exactly what you needed to do.
