manuel conversion on GS400

[tom steele]

hi guys i just started on my trans swap today. started by removing the dash this afternoon. now i see why all the other guys removed the stock e brake assembly. you have to make room for a computer module that is right in the way of putting a clutch pedal in. so you have to remove the e brake so you can relocate the computer over. i will take pics just forgot the camera today. will keep you guys updated on the build still looking for IS300 pedals. I'll cut the brake pedal and position it then weld it in place will take pics when i do it next weekend if i can get the pedals this week. any advice is appreciated. this is my first manuel swap but have been working on cars for 20 years now so dont think it will be a problem looks pretty straight forward though.

Junk yards or dealer...

 

[tom steele]

dealer is out of the question way to much money i would build my own before going that direction

 

[tom steele]

hard finding pedals so i am going to build my own shouldn't be hard and a lot cheaper will post pics when done with them

 

[tom steele]

will have pics of these sunday just finished cutting the metal will weld tomorrow and take pics... cost me a whole 30 bucks to build dont know why i wasted so much time trying to find pedals..

sorry haven't got the pedals finished yet kids partys...any ways did some research i am going to use a 10.5 inch clutch from a older style camero and am having to design a flywheel to suite these clutches. anybody have the id for the crank hole then the hole pattern for the crank bolts and the starter ring id?
