yup that is right

clutch seperate

u may find that all three are better as the manual has a smaller brake pedal

undo the 4 nuts around the brake pedal and the 2 on the accelerator pedal, then take the throttle cable off the pedal end and undo the clips on the brake pedal. Then theres 2 more bolts that go up above the steering column.

THEN it falls out. Gotta change the brake pedal or mr WOF man gets angry

Yeah I had a cut down auto brake pedal after my manual conversion and to be honest it was a right bitch to drive. The pedal still sits too close to the clutch and I kept catching the side of the brake pedal when jumping on the clutch.

Pedals are cheap from Pick A Part though.

I have a 1998 GTB wagon, in manual(94-97 shape). long story short, when i bought it i bought a lemon. i am wondering how expensive/time consumming/hard it would be to take my manual box from wagon and place it in a 1999 B4 RSK sedan? its currently tiptronic. can anybody point out places to go for help, any hidden tips and or tricks? also approx cost to undertake a task like this

Much apreciated :-)

well the pedal box, the new gearbox mount, clutch, master cylinder and assosiated bits, different drive shaft, gear shifter.

Keltik - what else he need?

all stuff found on CS easily enough.

[Guest keltik]

Flywheel, starter motor, gearbox, clutch kit, clutch hydraulic lines, clutch slave and master cylinders, brake pedal assembly, center console surround, new dash cluster (or modify old one) new ABS pump (or leave TCU in place), prop shaft, manual ECU, gearbox and mounts, 12v relay, some wire.

Probably more little things im not thinking of.

[Guest]

well i should be able to source all those parts off the GTB correct? same bits i assume?
