Son of a bitch! This is one hell of a project. We all have been talking about it for years, but I honestly never thought I'd see anyone try it! Great work Kris! I cant believe I havn't seen this thread until now. Keep up the good work! Lookin forward to seein the finished product!
BTW - I didn't realize you were in Appleton. I've flown in there several times for Delta. They put us up at the Scampton Inn, I mean, the Hampton inn over there by the mall. I always go over to that brewery in the mall and get plastered. Whats that beer called? Fox Light or somethin?

It takes some serious fortitude to do what you're doing. I did have one question: since the TL's were never originally designed to have a 6 speed, do you forsee a problem with installation of a clutch pedal? Also, is there any drilling or holesaw cutting of the firewall to accomodate the clutch pedal? I would assume you are using the gear from a wrecked CL 6 speed, right?
Best of luck with the project!

The clutch pedal and stuff will mostlikely come from a civic or accord

I got to digging today and removed the parking brake pedal and started to look how and where to mount the clutch pedal. They spot welded a bracket in for the parking brake, BUT Behind it the firewall is stamped where the clutch pedal gets bolted up!!!!! The spots are marked where the holes are supposed to be for the pedal and the master cyl for the clutch pieces.!!!! SO to refrase that, the firewall is designed for a CLUTCH PEDAL!!! I got a pedal and assembly from the junk yard from a mid-late90's civic and its exactly what you will need. Ill try to get some pics up later.
less fabrication!!!
