Welding a 1g clutch pedal assembly

[Absinthminded]

I'm in the process of replacing my clutch/flywheel in my 90 gsx. I figured I pull the pedal assembly and replace the bushings with bronze ones and have the rod welded. I can't find a decent tech article with pictures on how to do this. From what I've have found so far, it’s a pain to pull the assembly. I can't seem to find any pictures or where to order new bushings. I tested my pedal and it seems perfect with no slop what so ever. I just wanted to do this to be proactive so I won't end up making a post about how I can't shift and my clutch won't disengage. Thanks in advance.

I rebuilt mine with the kit from forced performance but their kit is OEM like parts. It is only about $30. Yea it is a pain but it not very complicated. I don't remember where I found references for mine. I don't have any pics but if you have any question I will do my best to help.

For a total of 75 bucks I believe you can buy from JNZtuning a rebuild kit. The kit includes a brand new OEM
clutch pedal
pivot arm
all 4 plastic bushings.

This has to be one of the greatest things I have ever done. I welded mine a few years back and the weld broke over time using th pedal and it also melted the plastic bushings still having some play in the pedal.


Here is the link Clutch Pedal Assembly Kit : JNZ Tuning

I never actually welded mine just rebuilt it. I was worried about ending up like yellow90tsi and melting the bushings. The is a thread on here somewhere and jack from jacks transmission chimes in and has some good advice. I'll see if I can find it.

Here is the post I was referring to

Thanks, I found the same thread. I was thinking I would try to have it welded and replace all the bushings with brass ones. I believe there was a thread about using brass bushings. Right now, my pedal feels awesome with no slop. I just figured I do it and get it over with.

How many miles do you have on your car? I did mine at 117,xxx. But I did have alot of play in my pedal.

Here is link to thread I used. It was a big help and I purchased all new parts for under $100 about a month ago.

Want to bring this back up. In the car I had to pull the assembly up, but now it springs back fine so is there a surefire way to check it out of the car.
