    Performing a 5-speed swap on my autotragic nxt wk....question about pedals.

    I did a search, and it seems the pedals are specific on airbag vs non-airbag iX's. My car is a 90 airbag, donor car is an 89 (which i believe doesn't have an airbag?)....i have to double check that.

    Anyways, are the manual pedals iX specific, or would it be possible to use pedals off a regular E30 RWD airbag car.

    Thanks in advance.

    you need airbag pedals (swap the pedals, not the box)

    they are not ix specific but the brackets are - ix manuals have 2 clutch switches.

      Hey, it'd be awesome if you took some pictures of this project. Also please report back with any trouble spots you encounter as this is something I may be getting into in the future.
