T56 pedals question

Gathering parts for a T56 swap. Do I need the pedals from a T56 car or would a set from a V6 5speed work too? I suspect they are different, but just checking. Thanks.

Re: T56 pedals question

Either will work. thirdgen pedals have better firewall bracing but the wrong geometry. This can be corrected by making the mastery cyl rod adjustable or running a cavalier slave cylinder. Or you can go with 4th gen pedals and those require cutting off the gas pedal assembly and dont have the extra bracing. But factory type hydros for a fourth gen will work perfectly with them.

It's your call. Both will work.

I had the same questions. Easiest way of doing this is using the 3rd gen pedal assembly and buying a Hawks adjustable clutch master cylinder. Give them a call and they'll get you set up. Its a "plug and play" setup. By the way the GTO and 4th gen F-body slave cylinders are absolute crap.

Luckily you can get it directly from Ticks.

Well now isn't that interesting! I had a Tick MC on my GTO and loved it, but I just figured while I'm compiling a shopping list from Hawks that I'd just throw that in there too. Thanks for the heads up!
