    By god you couldnt pay me enough to do another pedal box swap.

    For future swaper's benefit:

    When you're changing from AUTO to MANUAL on an airbag car, DO NOT BUY A NEW PEDAL BOX. You only need the manual trans car's clutch and brake pedal. DO NOT REMOVE THE PEDAL BOX!!!! Simply unbolt the long bolt (17MM) that runs through both pedals, and swap the pedals that way. Jesus my car would be running by now had this information been readily available to me! That's why i'm making this post! :p

      The auto petal box may not have the threaded parts for the clutch master

      but it is still doable...


      I Agree!

            NOOO! Stop, don't say anything more about this, dammit!

            I have a pedal box for sale cheap!

            After it sells, THEN you can discuss this!

              Yeah I already heard this from my BMW tech. Wish I could have helped you sooner. Sorry he did say that was the easiest part to do by doing it that way.

                    THANK YOU! I must do this...twice :up:

                    This place is like catholic school, 2/3 of the students smoke weed on a daily basis, but the faculty seems to convince the outside world that drugs are just in the other schools, the resident pot dealer thinks he's cool because he has the originality to call anyone he doesn't like a homosexual, and most of the little children follow him like sheep, then there's the few with brains, you hardly ever hear from them, perhaps don't even know they exist, but they get all the sh!t done.

                      Just to clarify, for inside the car would I only need the clutch and brake pedal, clutch master, and lines? I'm about to do this swap and am still unsure if my list of needed parts is complete.
