The shifter cable will probably work alright if you can make a bracket to hold the front part where it is separated. I could not find the OEM bracket anywhere. I was told that it was discontinued by GM. I rigged my own bracket. It is not as sturdy as it needs to be. I have to feel when the tranny goes into R or D. I know where to find them so it is not a big problem for me. It goes into park just fine. I don't need to manually shift to 1, 2, or 3 using the shifter. I have a toggle switch on the console for that. I am using the fast/tci tranny controller on my Z06.Good luck with your swap.

No.

If you're going from a manual to an automatic you'll need to buy a engine harness from RPM that controls the transmission.

If you were going from an automatic to a manual you would not need the engine harness adapter.

BTW, it's a 20 Pin round connector.

Gezz, I thought the Pedal wasn't bad, once you got the slave out. 13mm rachet wrench and (3) nuts later it's off.

Pedal Swap isn't bad either. It's a lot easier if you remove the seat and get back like you were.

Way more room.

ya removing the seat would have helped a lot. It wasnt that bad just hard to get in the right position.

There are 2 sensor too. one when the pedal is depressed and not depressed. what to do with those two. I know one makes the car start.

Thanks ajg1915, you and chris gonna get me threw this.

Im sure ill have lots of questions when i start the wiring.

The one on the floor is the safety. Purple and Yellow wire. They'll be going to your tranny safety switch which is physically located on the transmission.

The one on the top of the pedal is for your cruise control which is redundant and also on your brake pedal.

Cool, so i can leave the top one alone and then connect the bottom one to the safety switch on the tranny.

You'll leave the ones alone inside the car. The purple and yellow wire will be connected out in the engine compartment.

C146

If you have a set of GM manuals it helps to identify the connectors behind the battery compartment area.
