All you need to do is remove the bolts. I checked my haynes manual and like spud said.. there are 4 in the firewall.

The MTX pedals are a PITA to pull out though. I had to cut all the carpeting around mine to pull them out. They are wedged in there pretty damn good.

Good luck with the MTX swap.

aight for everybody, who wants to to get the assembly out, i just got done doin it literally, n yeah its a pain in da but.... their are 4nuts on the fire wall...2 nuts right above the clutch pedal connecting it to the upper frame of the steering column, then u must take out or if not first u must take out the clutch cable n brake cable, (specifically the clips alone!) its a tight squeeze[:@], u might have to take down the four bolts that hold the steering column up to get more leverage if u dont have any air tools! thanks for the help everybody!!!
