Adjustable Clutch Stop

[city]

I recommend this easy mod for everyone with a manual transmission. I bought an adjustable clutch stop from ebay for like 5 bucks plus shipping. It arrived yesterday and I was trying to install it, except the bolt was to long, I cut it down MAYBE 1/2 an inch and it worked perfect. Took my car for a spin and the difference in shifting was incredible...so precise. I was amazed how a cheap little upgrade like this made a world of difference. GO BUY ONE YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPPOINTED!!!


***Also this mod is 10x better with a short shift kit, I forgot to mention I do have a Turner Motorsports SSK installed in my Ti.***

How do you turn the car on because on my car i have to press down on the clutch to start the car

What did you do to bypass the clutch switch, for starting the car?

i'm pretty sure the clutch switch can still engage without that extra inch of travel.

Yes it can. It starts up fine and totally deletes the dead space that you don't need when engaging the clutch.

I made my own clutch stop by welding a bolt to a washer, you can check pics out of it on my cardomain link below. I agree its a great little mod

im intrested in the mod but what did you use to cut the bolt... im a poor college student with no tools

then i guess you can't play with the other kids rendo :p

have any friends with a hacksaw? i'm guessing that's all that's required ...

before you cut it with a hacksaw, thread a nut onto the bolt above the line where you're cutting (close to the stop part). after you're done cutting, unthread the nut. this will save you from having to deburr the threads.

I made my clutch stop in less than a minuite! All I did was take a bolt and screwed it in. After that I put some felt on top of the bolt head to eliminate the metal to metal sound. It works great! No Cutting, No welding no nothing...

I don't recommend this. Having paid $1200 for an upgraded clutch and flywheel, I do not want to risk not engaging the clutch fully, and slowly burning the clutch. I'm pretty sure that the engagement point is not 100 percent set, and changes upon temperature, and the gear you are in. Also, if you have an e34m5 clutch like me(pretty high effort), a clutch stop doesn't let you fully extend your foot, and in traffic, you will get one heck of a workout.

I made my own clutch stop as well, I welded a bolt to a washer. :biggrin:
