    WTT airbag pedals for 89 pedals

    Anybody need a manual pedal assembly from an airbag car? I need some from an 88 or 89. I could make this one work by cutting off the extended bracket, but just thought I might offer to trade in case someone else needs the airbag kind. Lmk thanks!

    Just swap the pedals into the same pedal box you have in the car now.

      Doesn't work. The auto pedals don't have the piece needed to attach the clutch pedal return spring welded on it. That was my original plan, but it won't work.

        You don't need that spring assembly, it is only an assisting spring to lighten the pedal pressure when the clutch pedal is fully depressed.

          If your talking about the clutch assist spring, I highly recommend keeping it. It greatly improves the pedal feel, and will prevent you from having problems with having to manually lift the clutch pedal to fully disengage the throw out bearing. I've tried running sans clutch spring, and ended up buying one. The difference is subtle, but undeniable.

            It was added to make it easier for the girlies 8^)

            There is no need to lift the pedal it fully disengages, you can add a throttle return spring or something easy to add if you feel the need.

            Seriously it isn't really worth swapping the pedal box out for, I would say 8 out of 10 swaps don't put it in(I am one of those) and many have broken by now.

              I would rather cut off the extended mounting bracket on the top and keep the spring.

                Just finished cutting off the airbag mounting extension so now I have a regular pedal assembly with the clutch return spring. Now comes the fun part of installing it in the car!!
