Default M6 to Auto guys in here please

Going thru a th400 install right now. What did you guys do with your clutch pedal? Should I try to get an auto brake pedal? I could just wack the clutch off with a sawzall but I wonder if having such a small brake pedal is a bad thing?

Some guys like to pull the clutch pedal out and put the auto brake pedal in. I personally left my clutch pedal in the car, it doesn't do anything, hell I still have the clutch master cylinder in the car. The pedal will not move once the line is disconnected from the slave. Just tap into the lower clutch switch and run wire from there to the park/neutral switch on the shifter for the auto, and you should be good to go.

No, it takes a longer driveline.

I just ordered a whole new driveshaft thru Spohn and it fits fine. It's definitely longer than the stock piece.

I bought a used brake pedal/ bracket assembly from someone on these boards for like $40.00. I felt it would be ghetto to leave the manual setup in there.
