Does anyone know of a good site that shows how to replace the clutch pedal assembly? I have one coming tomorrow that I won off of ebay and want to take out the old one today so I can just put the new one in tomorrow.

you need to remove all the plastic trim under the column, then unplug all the electronics, then you need to drop the column down. after that, the pedal assembly will unbolt and pull out, assuming all cables and levers have been unhooked/unbolted.

I have gotten it about halfway out, but it's very tight down there to work - :P

I am hoping to have it done tonight or tomorrow.

Any pointers on getting some of the harder bolts out?

LOL!

Let's just say there have been some few choice words while under there!

lol, i imagine so. its not fun.

what was wrong with your pedal assembly to begin with?

The previous owner decided to spot weld the quadrant back together and I found that out the hard way and got stranded at the metro.

So basically they decided to ghetto rig it instead of fxing it the right way.

your gettin there. keep it up.

Yeah my hands aren't nearly as torn up as they were when I replaced my clutch cable.

I really thought the cable would fix my issue and then I found this. It's odd though, the car won't shift when you first start it up and then if you drive it a few miles then it starts to work all of a sudden. I am hoping it's just the assembly and not the clutch that is causing the issue.
