Ok I'm gonna do the AT to MT swap on my S14 Zenki and have found everythign I need except for the frickin clutch and brake pedal assemblies. Phase 2 has a cltch pedal assembly but says S14 needs mino modifications. But I really don't want to fork out $176 if I don't need to just for one pedal assembly. I can't seem to find them anywhere and if I do a search for them on Google I just get a bunch of links to threads either here or at fresh alloy about whats needed for the swap. Does anyone know the actual part number I can look up or the OEM part name for them. I found a clutch pedal bracket for 50 but it looks like just the bracket. Let me know if I'm missing somethign here (Yes I have read reread and rereread every transmission swap post on here, even have them in my favorites)

Parts Needed:Trans (duh)Clutch (throw out bearing, alignment tool blah blah blah)FlywheelMaster cylinderSlave CylinderMaster and slve cylinder lines/hosesTrans mountMT DriveshatShifterClutch and Brake Pedal Assemblies (Are these the same part?)MT ECU ( I know i don't really need it but I found a couple in junk yards for like $60 bucks)

All in all I'm looking at around $900 - $1000 in parts correct, the trans and driveshaft being the bulk of it unless I go with an aftermarket clutch and/or flywheel correct. If I go all out performance clutch, flywheel and 1 piece driveshaft that will be around 900 on its own with the trans about 300 and the rest for under 100

I'm hoping to do this sometime next month or in december depending how cold it gets up here. might just pay a shop to pull the automatic thats in it out and have AAA tow it back to the house to work on it here either that or do a recruitment drive for anyone and everyone in the philly area to help out with the promise of booze, meat, and maybe a little cash to those who really help out.

Bumpidilio...

Seriously guys, i need to find pedals, I pretty much have everythign in the bag, just need some pedals and no junk yard in a 100 mi radius has S14 clutch and brake pedals... If the clutch and brake pedal are the exact same then I can just order the clutch pedal that I found at one of our sponsors websites just order 2 of them...

popogto knows whats up... I am going to do away with my S14's AT and I'm cuttin that damn brake pedal, save myself the headache and the extra cost. I'll never know the difference and niether will you.

As far as the clutch pedal assembly goes, they are common on E-bay, and your local Nissan dealership should be able to help you out... for a price (ask for the courtesy discount)... i seriously suggest you go with the factory Nissan assembly, there should be absolutely no modification to it.

I just not sure I want to cut the brake pedal assembly, I would think that cutting it would decrease it's structural integrity. If I had a part number I could try to find it online. I seriously think the clutch pedal is the same as the brake pedal.

the clutch bracket is like 30 bucks and the pedal itself is like another 30 or 40 bucks. cutting the pedal on an at is a better idea. Less crap you gotta pull also if you're looking for the "strongest" pedal ever, you'll also notice there's a fat metal ridge that runs along the backside of the at pedal that you won't see on the mt pedal.

What are you cutting though? The part where the pedal goes or the pedal arm assembly? If it doesnt ruin the integrity of the arm I'm up for that, especially if the AT brake arm is stronger. I live in Philly, people up here don't know how to drive and you wind up stomping on your brake pedal ALOT to avoid accidents because some jackhole pulled out in front of you or ran a stop sign/light.

Ok so what about the clutch pedal bracket I found at Courtesy Nissan for $50. It's just a bracket by itself, no slave or master cylinder attached and I can't really tell if there is something missing or not. here is the link...

http://www.courtesyparts.com/M...S14CP

any answers on this would be great, this is the only thing I'm having a hard time finding now, I will just cut the metal part of the brake (anyone have a diagram or drawing showing dimensions of what I need to have left over and then I'm just going to get a pedal set from like pep boys or something to hold me over until I get some real pedals (I like the RaZo and Sparco pedals and I found a set of Project Mu pedals at a site in my favorites)

Thanks again for the help guys. I've read up on all the swap threads I can find, anyone have pictures of how to do the swap on an S14? Need to see where the clutch pedal and slave cylinder go and how it's supposed to look when done.

you'll need the bolt and nut that goes through the pedal. That assembly does not include the actual pedal. It's up to you if you want the return spring as well.

Any idea why it's so freaking hard to find a clutch pedal? If I knew the part number for the whole assembly I could at least call my local nissan dealer and find out if they have it or can order it. I guess I'll just buy the one I found at one of our sponsor sites for $138, just need to find it again.

wth? 138? I think that price is a bit off. When I was overhauling my clutch pedal and wanted no down time, I called Mike at midway parts, he got me the bracket for ~40 and some extra bucks and quoted me ~30 for the actual pedal. I didn't get the return spring and didn't need the bolt and nut for the assembly.

Do you know what the part numbers are? The pedal assembly is the only thing I have left to get and I need to have it by the 19th b/c thats when I'm doing the swap. Is the return spring needed ? What exactly does it do. The bolts I can get anywhere right? If I get an assembly from an S13 will I be able to find the spacers to swap it into an S14? This is really driving me nuts, you would think this would be a relatively easy part to get. i'm going to stop by my local nissan dealer tommorrow and find out if they can get it for me?

The part number I'd have for you would be the wrong part for your car anyway, I've an s13. If you get the parts for the s13, you'll need that spacer on the studs that you see in the picture that someone was kind enough to post from courtesyparts.

Not sure about the size of the bolt/nut if that's different for the s13 and s14.

The return spring is a good idea to have. It makes your pedal rebound back at a faster rate than just from the pressure from the master cylinder. Unless you've a heavy pressure plate, I would recommend leaving the return spring.
