Installed tremac 5spd with there pedels . Has a hyd clutch assembly.(converted from an automatic.) Is the clutch pedal supposed to be at the same height as the brake pedal? I have seen stock B bpdies with stanaded brakes and the pedals sit at the same height. My brake pedal sits lower  to the floor thans standard brake pedal. Keisler has not been much help. The clutch pedal in the relaxed posion is not even close to hitting the rubber bumper on the dash. No ,more adjustment left on rod. I don't know if there would be enogh travel in the clutch pedal to release clutch if the pedals were at the same height. Tranny shifts fine, just looks funny with pedal sitting about 3 inches higher than the btrake pedal.
Hopefully some one will respond that has done the same swap.
Thanks Werner

I'll take a peek at mine tomorrow, but I think the clutch does sit higher in mine too. 
I do remember the pedal touching the rubber bumper when released though.

I think you will find that in a large number of applications the clutch pedal sits slightly higher.  The idea is that it will be easier to find the clutch pedal over the brake.  When shifting they don't want you stabbing the brake instead and in a panic situation you will also need to disengage the trans first.

My clutch pedal sits up slighlty higher than the brake pedal also.

I checked and mine is about 3 inches higher as well. 
The brake pedal is about the same height as the accelerator, but the clutch is higher.

How are the pedals in an original 4 speed car with Z bar etc ???

Nope, my car is as stock as they come.  Well, with one upgrade that is electronic.
