i was confusing the Altima and Maxima pedals. Sorry. Again soo much different setups out there and information its hard to keep track of it all.

I would remove the spacers off the firewall and you should be good to go with the Maxima pedal and B15 CMC. I removed the spacers off the firewall for the several b15 clutch pedal setups ive done. It works best that way and had no problem with the adjuster rod length. But yes, you need to remove the spacer to get it to clip on the pedal.

Thanks for your help.

I just measured the clevis from the Maxima CMC and it's about 1.65 inches from the end to the center of the pin hole and 2 inches overall length. If the Maxima clevis is longer than your B15 clevis, it might help solve your problem.

Hard to tell from pictures but, your clevis looks shorter than the one I'm holding in my hand now.

I got the bolt in the side spot on my Max pedal (with the firewall spacer still in there)


When you got the side bolt in, did it pull the pedal side bolt hole up tight against the top mounting point on your B13 or, do you think you'll need a few washers to get it to sit flush?

I went to the junk yard yesterday and put a Altima pedal into a B13 there. The side bolt hole on the pedal wouldn't sit flush with mounting hole on the B13.
I suppose someone could use a Altima pedal on a B13 if that's all they had.

I brought home the pedals from a 95 Maxima, a 98 Altima and a 92 B13 for comparison. The Maxima pedal look to be a better choice for a B13. I just think the whole extension welded on the front, for the top bolt hole, should be cut off.


I'm using the top hole, the one with the threaded nut on it. In a B14 at least, there is enough room for my bracket to fit. I bolted the bracket to the stock top hole, and left it a little loose, then put the pedal in and put a bolt in the top hole on the clutch, left that loose as well. After I had the MC tight, I went back and tightened the other 2 bolts.

It's not, they are exactly the same.

A B13 pedal mounting points must definitely be different from a B14. The is nothing to mount the top hole, the one with the threaded nut on it, to. That whole piece is just in the way of the wiring harness on a B13.

I'm still curious as to the actual measurement of the clevis unijabnx2000 is using. Even though his picture is larger than life, when I hold the clevis I have up to the screen it seems a tad longer.

Seems like they are different

You're right , they are definitely different. When I hold a Stanley tape measure the same way you are, the Maxima clevis is about 1 5/8 inches to the center of the pin hole, and 2 inches total length. The clevis on the 98 Altima CMC I grabbed is the same size as the Maxima clevis.
So a Maxima clevis would move the pin hole about 3/8 inch closer to the hole in the pedal. Would that be enough to work with the B15 CMC?

I was looking at the Maxima pedal and another possible solution would be to add another stop nut to the inside of the bracket where the front switch comes through. That would move the pedal back closer to the floor and the clevis both.

I'm not so sure I agree with removing the spacers that are welded to the firewall. I checked while I was at the junk yard and both the Maxima and the Altima have spacers welded there. If the spacers are on B13, B14, Maxima and Altima firewalls, I think Nissan engineers may have put them there for a good reason.
