It's getting to be that time....

Nice, looks like more people are jumping on the 5-speed train. It sure is a nice place to be.

Yee-haw. The header bolts look like they're going to be *fun* in a not nice kind of way

The bad new: you'll be drilling and cutting the Trooper bracket to accommodate the VX b/c bolt holes don't line up, and b/c the Trooper bracket juts out too far past the dash support beam.

Hmmm... I thought Greg said he used a Rodeo brake pedal assembly on mine and it bolted right up.

I'm trying to use everything Trooper, I'm not planning on buying anything else. I'd like to see how far that mindset will get me. Looking at that pic he showed, it looks a bit different than the VX unit.

I got it to fit, but like I said, I had to mod it a bit. No harm, no foul, I like a challenge every now and again

Pretty sure the Rodeo clutch and brake pedal assemblies were the only non-Trooper pieces Greg used. Hopefully he'll raise his head out from underneath that speed demon he's building to confirm.

Hmmmmm, that's interesting. The clutch assembly went in just fine, as did the corresponding slave cylinder. Both parts lined up perfectly on the VX.
