Pedals, from manual to automatic
Looking to replace my manual transmission with an auto and had a question. Is there a difference between the pedal setup between a manual and an auto? I know I left myself wide open for someone to say "Yeah, the clutch pedal...", but what do I need to do to get it to work. Do I need to get ahold of a junkyard automatic pedal set or is there a way to modify and use the manual pedal set I already have?
Thanks, Josh

Pedal setups are the same. All you have to do is remove the clutch pedal and related linkage. LockDoc
