    Off work again, so now i getta go scrounge junkyards for a clutch cable. but i wanna know... do you have to mess with the gas pedal at all to remove and replace this bracket? from the pics it looks somewhat like the upper connection on the throttle pedal... am i up too late and seeing things or is it right?

    The whole assembly comes off, so yes you have to take the throttle cable off the pedal too. A new cable from Honda isnt too expensive. I paid $27 for one.

    So Redneck.....how did your swap come out? Any problems? Did the ecu work for you? Did you end up swaping pedal assemblies?....Did your manual tranny have any vacuum hoses coming from it? Me and 88lxi were talking about it the other day and he probably knows by now but did your tranny have a little rubber hose coming off it? I'm waiting on my flywheel and clutch.....it'll probably be antoher week before they come in though....it sucks
    In the end...it doesn't even matter.

    i gave in and bought an ECU today, $65 bucks. got another clutch cable $10 , put it and the correct bracket for the pedals out of a 5 speed car, got it all together, stepped on the clutch, snap, crackle, pop and a . all the linkage / cable is good, except the fork for the throwout bearing comin outta the tranny..... its completely and utterly loose. i guess my throwout bearing let loose, its brand new, or the spring broke or the forks came out of the spring... but i'm gonna go ahead and TAKE OUT the 5 speed tranny..... again unless theres another way i can fix it, lol, which i doubt. i'm thinking when i finish i'll drive it awhile, drop it for 2500 and get me a old skool musclecar. get me a pickup or something, i can't handle all the BS from this car
