As long as you have your head in the footwell...What a great excuse to install a Ron Stygar clutch stop. Actually, any excuse is a good one to install a clutch stop. A no brainer. Apparently the last couple inches of the clutch throw is just pointless. Unscrewing the existing clutch stop- which I think just protects your carpet from being hit- and replacing it with a stop with a longer screw. The bolt and washer you reverse from shipping, the washer goes against the carpet, the nut holds the stop at the spot  
Shawn writes: For clutch stop adjustment you basically screw it down as far as it will go. Then start the engine. Put the car in gear with the handbrake on and your foot firmly on the brake pedal. Slowly bring the clutch up till the rpms begin to drop from the clutch engaging. Turn off the engine. Unscrew the stop to raise it up to a little below where the clutch begins to engage. Test this several times with the engine running and it usually takes a few tries to get it right. I like to keep my stop a few turns below the friction point. When you get it where you like it tighten down the set nut. Then take it for a spin and get everything warmed up as the friction point might change slightly and you may need to screw the clutchstop down a little more. If after you install a clutch stop shifting into first and second gear isn't as smooth as it was screw the clutchstop down further.    Well gee. Now it is so much easier to be lazy when shifting. I can press the clutch to the floor in traffic and not be pointing my toe. Very very nice and simple. |
