auto to t56 3 issues
ok, im trying to finish up my t56 swap. It has just been a nitemare, one problem after another. i've now got these issue
my setup is
t56
3gen pedals
1st. i am worried that the clutch isnt fully disengaging, i dont want it to kill my clutch right away ?
2nd. when i install the master cylinder i drilled the hole a 1/2 inch off, so now the bottom 2 bolt holes for the pedals dont line up right. do you think im risking breaking or cracking the firewall, if i dont support the master cylinder with the pedals support ?
3rd. i am using the thirdgen pedals, i heard there might be a problem with the pedals pushing the clutch too far in?

Re: auto to t56 3 issues
If you read the T56 sticky thread you will find out that a high pedal is a common problem when using 3rd gen pedals and 4th gen hydraulics. There is a lot of discussion there about this problem. Read through the thread and you should find your answer to this question there.

Re: auto to t56 3 issues
did you do that becuz of the high engagement point or because you were worried the clutch wasnt fully disengaging?

Re: auto to t56 3 issues
I used 3rd gen pedals with no problem. The clutch engages near the top of the pedal travel, but it isn't uncomfortable to drive. I also have a SPEC stage III clutch, which I think is thinner than stock and may reduce the pedal height somewhat. All in all I'm really happy with teh swap; best mod I've made to date!
