Well I got off work around 4:00 today, I Hit up the junkyard, and I had everything I needed by 6:00 to finish my A4 swap.
Overall, It was a magnificent Monday.
Not to mention, I couldn't resist putting the pedals in and mocking up the shifter assembly. (Note: This is a spare shifter, not the 1 thats gonna be used in my car. I just bought this 1 to have on hand, so it's very dirty and needs to be cleaned and lubed as well.) But for $20, I couldn't pass it up. Only thing wrong with this is the white plastic rod that goes down inside the shifter arm, is broken at the top. Just gotta grab 1 of those from another junkyard now.
Anyways, Heres some pictures of the "Automatic Transmission" Style Pedals in my car now!
I also never showed in detail how the Plastic goes in between the cage and the body. It wouldn't fit... So I cut it along the foot rest and put it in there in 2 pieces. Doesn't look too bad I guess. But it's the only way I could see to make it work.
Last picture is of the hole in my firewall for the slave cylinder.
I didn't wanna hack the car up or drill any more holes. So I utilized the pre-existing holes for the slave, Made a piece to cover the hole, drilled holes in the piece of metal, and then used sealer and some sticky black tar like weather-stripping stuff to seal it from the engine bay.
Then instead of having bolts hold it together, I used push-pin style plastic pieces to hold the piece in place so that it would be Very easy to remove if I ever needed to take it out for some reason.
Well here's the pic of the Patch Job I did.
