Hey guys -

This is a mod I pioneered back on my FC way back when, and I found out last night it works great on the FD. Shorten the throw of the clutch pedal, takes 10 minutes, and just 2 wrenches to do.

This is one of the first of a TON of writeups I intend to do as I build the perfect FD .

Let me know what you think, and if anything is unclear, let me know and I'll do some editing.

I did this a few months back and reversed it immediately. A few members of the forum expressed concern that it could cause the TOB to rub against the pressure plate.

There's already a write up on this too somewhere btw.

 

If you adjust it right, there's no preload on the pressure plate - it's just as it is stock. You just take the last few inches of dead pedal travel out of the clutch pedal's throw. In the writeup near the end, I emphasize that you need a small amount of slop at the top of the clutch pedal's travel - this guarantees the clutch isn't preloaded.

I had the clutch on my '88 Turbo adjusted nicely with an ACT Xtreme pressure plate. Drove it for AGES with no problems whatsoever.

it's cool as long as you still have the free play
