Re: Help with pedals

I just pulled my manual pedals out. There is a clutch engagement switch on the clutch pedal. Looks like that's it.

Re: Help with pedals

You need the clutch safety switch (clutch position switch), which as long as the pedals are from a 87+, the clutch switch is the same from 87 - 02 I think. Dont quote me on the years, but at some point the switch was different.

The older pedals had a different style switch.

You'll want the clutch anticipate switch if you have or want cruise control. Otherwise, just the safety switch and the brake switch.

Re: Help with pedals

Just check out the way the switch mounts. I believe the older ones look metal and long, and the newer style sort of looks like a smaller plastic push button.

There will bee two holes, with slots below them so you can insert the switch, then slide it down to lock it into place. Ill see if I can dig up pictures. I tried to search yesterday...but the older style switch is difficult to find.
