Is Anyone Interested in a Cutch Pedal Stop For Their MT?

Mr. 5 · 09-27-2009, 03:43 PM

I just made one for mine and it's a night and day difference.
What does it do?
The clutch pedal stop shortens the distance of the clutch pedal so you don't have to let it out as much before the clutch grabs.

I just shortened the pedal distance by about an inch and the clutch catches MUCH sooner than before.

Let me know because I can probably work up a kit that will be in 1/8th inch increments for about $15 shipped to the 48 states if that many are interested.

Alright. This sounds good.
I'll work with coming up with a DIY of how to install it and I'll include it with the package.

Mr. 5 · 09-27-2009, 05:05 PM

I turned it into a poll so if you can vote, I would appreciate it.

So just a quick question.....how do you get around not pushing the pedal in when starting?

Or is that just an old habit of mine to fully depress the clutch when I start the car?

You still have to push the pedal in when starting but you won't be pushing it in as much as before.
I was able to eliminate an inch of pedal travel and I'm still able to trigger the sensor to start the car.
I didn't try to take away anymore travel because I am happy with it how it is now.

NiVeDh · 09-27-2009, 11:43 PM

Does it only change the travel of the pedal or does it actually bring the engagement point closer up?

would love one!

themyst · 09-28-2009, 12:11 AM

it only changes the travel of the pedal after the engagement point. There is quite a lot of "dead space" on the clutch pedal that is just wasted movement.

You'll have to make physical changes to your clutch setup to move the engagement point itself.
