help, clutch/brake pedal assembly removal?
Im still in the process of converting my trans am to a t56. I found the clutch and brake pedal assembly in the local junkyard and its in a 86-88 camaro. I got my brake pedal assembly out of my trans am, its no joke, but it finally came out, otherwise it wasnt impossible.
The camaro on the otherhand, i cant figure out. Its got the same bolt pattern (4 15mm bolts on each side with a 13mm at the top), but its got two little bars that on each side of the pedals, once of which sits in front of the 2 bolts on the right side. I cant tell if these are connected to the pedals or the dash.. If they are part of the dash ill just cut them with bolt cutters, but i dont want to hurt the assembly. Does anyone know?
I had to take my seat out and lay in my car upside down to get them out of my trans am. I cant really do this in the camaro. Its always wet and moist, its go mold in the carpet, rats nests galore.. shudderr
Hopefully i can just cut the two little bars and use a crowbar and pry the dash out of it and get em out. I was going to pay $50 to have the junkyard get them out for me, but none of the guys could do it. So he told me if i can get them out, i can have them and pretty much anything off the car.
So that being said, if anyone needs parts hit me up. Its an 86-88 camaro, 5.0 carbed, with a t5. Everything is in tact. I might take the rims...
Anyway sorry for the long post. Im just really fustrated. I really appreciate the help you all have given me, thanks alot guys.

Re: help, clutch/brake pedal assembly removal?
hi, from what i understand,,the two bars on the side of the brake-clutch assembly are needed ...those two holes with the bars hold down your master slave assembly connected to your clutch pedal..,,at least for a T5 anyways...then in between those 2 holes youe need to make a larger hole in the middle for the assembly to pass through the firewall below the booster to hook up to your clutch pedal..don't cut anything yet!,,,btw ,,,do you have the clutch pedal safety switch off that junk car ...the one for my T5 so the car won't start in gear?....thanks.

hi , it's a little push switch that is hooked up on your clutch pedal..it almost looks like the one for the brake lights that is located on the brake pedal...this switch prevents the car to start in gear and killing someone!!,,,thanks.

Its no big deal about the switch. Im not installing it in my car. I drove a 99 f250 diesel with a 6 speed for a very long time and it didnt have the safety switch. I never killed anyone and only started it in gear once haha
