VT_Maverick's 5 Speed Swap

[Buffy]

Once I got the cases sorted out I turned my attention to the brake pedal. It is a pain to get out but got easier once I losened the steering column to firewall bolts. Here are the two assemblies side-by-side...



Here is the dash carnage, Easy Ashley... I'll get it back together today! You do not have to swap the brake pedal out to do the swap. The pedals would be a little close but useable but my end goal is a factory appearance so out it came!



When they built the VX they obviously used the Trooper RS floor pans. This is the same tab the 4 door Trooper uses to connect the hard hydrolic line to the soft line of the slave cylinder. This is why the Trooper parts are more of a plug-and-play factory appearing vs the Rodeo parts.

I got an early start today so here are some pictures....

Here is the Trooper clutch master cylinder and hard line installed...



Here is what the tab I showed earlier is used for. If I were doing the swap I would opt for the Trooper parts.



Do yourself a big favor and install the clutch master cylinder BEFORE installing the pedals. It is almost impossible to get to the top nut with the pedal in place...



The interior is looking better....



Ok Ashley you can breath a sigh of relief...



The computers are lables MAN or AUTO...





You will need to swap the mounting brackets over. The VX mount is on the bottom...
