cut you clutch pedal in the right spot,

if your lucky the carpet/underlay will have cut outs where the holes should be

the part i am not sure what i am going to do yet is the speedometer. but i would guess you have a electric speedometer in your car so it shouldn't be a prob

don't remember what the last two links cover but i book marked them for i reason, i am sure

Thanks. Took the pedals from the same car, just need to buy the hydraulics.

Had the first 2 book marked but now have added the last one. Id love to find a step by step DIY install. More so for doing the hydraulics. Thanks guys

when i did my 5 speed swap the carpit under lay had the punch out for the clutch master and bolt holes so i lined it all up took a center punch from inside the car and marked the lightly then went in to the engine bay and found the mark then recenter punched it from the out side. then drilled with hole saw. you need a clutch master and slave from a 4th gen (gm# 12559912 i think) and it should bolt right up. never dealt with putting 4th gen peddles in i don't think its a big deal tho. but i think the gas peddle is part of it? I don't rely remember.

[Z1LE]

Im not totally sure which slave/master I need yet as apparently pre 95s use 1 style and post 95 use another style. Yes the clutch , gas and brake pedals are all one unit on 4th gens. I just got them as part of a package deal so it works out for me. Another thing is....how do they wire up the reverse lock out switch to function correctly?

[MonkeyWrench]

for the reverse lock out lots of ppl do diff things because 3rd gens don't got any thing for it. you can either put it on a switch for if you race. some ppl wire it to the brake lights and others take it out and cut the spring a bit then it will go in with out hooking it up at all, with a little resistance.

glad your gettin the t56 swap done, just do a search on thirdgen.org many have done the swaps there.

[Z1LE]

TGO used to have a few detailed step by step threads stickied but they are gone. Irocz383 is gonna help me (right Ken?!) as he has it in his 383 T56 IROC. I just want to have a good idea before starting. By the way...if you have any good shifters / clutches etc. kicking around PM me. Thanks
