Hey guys, like the title says, just lookin for a set of 4th Gen 6 speed pedals for my LT1/ T56 swap. Please include price, and if possible, a picture. Thanks!

 

We have have a set of pedals available on our site. Here's a link if you're interested.

Sorry man, I meant 4th gen 6 speed pedals. I should have been more specific, but I edited the ad. Thanks anyways!

 

the pedals from a 3rd gen work on the lt1 style t56. not the ls1 style though

 

4th gen pedals have to be slightly modified to fit in a thrid gen as well.

 

I thought about using third gen ones, but from what I've read on here, when using third gen pedals, there is a late clutch release point (unless you modify them), but if you use 4th gen ones, it's fine, although yes, you do need to fit them. That is, unless that's what you meant by it'll work with an LT style but not an LS?

My 84 was originally an auto. In 2003 I installed a T56 using 3rd Gen pedals. Never had a problem with the clutch release point. Feels just like my 95Z with T56 to be honest......

 

So John in RI what your telling me is use the 3rd gen pedals with the LT1/T56 clutch hydraulics? I'm doing a 91Z 350 conversion from a 700R4 to a 94 T56. A NAPA tech suggested fabricating an adjustable rod at the pedal to compensate for a potentially high pedal release point. You are saying that you had no problem, is that correct?

Thanks

 

5-0 Blackbird how far have you gotten on your T56 build?

 

I have a set of thirdgen pedals if you change your mind.

 

I still gotta get a clutch and flywheel before I put my setup in.


Thanks for the offer TraviZ, but I got a heck of a deal on a set of pedals last week and forgot about this thread till it said there were new posts, lol, now just need the clutch and flywheel like mentioned above.

 

My car is an 84 Berlinetta that was factory stock 305/Auto and swapped to 350/95 T56 using T56 hydraulics & stock ThirGen Pedals and never a problem. The 3rd gen set fits the car better & it does have a higher clutch engaugment point then the T56 in my 95 Z28.


I've done several Auto/Stick conversion in the past and will tell you this - DON"T SCREW UP THE Firewall holes for the hydraulic "U" bracket !! Use the 2 thirdgen pedal brackets as guides for your holes. BE SURE that these brackets are TOUCHING the firewall and that there is no padding between them. ( Good idea to push them hard against the firewall while drilling your holes.) If these holes are off the slightest bit it will cause MAJOR problems with the hydrolics ( bent rod, broken seals, problems engaging ) no matter what pedels you use.

 

doing my first swap in my garage. How far off the floor do i need to have the car to get the tranny in and out?
