Clutch pedal travel sensor for Gen 4 F-body Has anyone tried installing a clutch pedal travel sensor on a gen 4? Stock we get the pedal switch, but looking to retrofit or fab a travel sensor. I think it would be great for logging at the track. Anyone tried it?
Thanks for any feedback. Tired to search the forums and no luck.

So at the track when I'm logging a pass and looking all the data available, it would be great to have clutch pedal travel data similar to the TPS. So wondering if anyone has tried to install a position sensor on the clutch pedal that could read from 0-100% instead of just engaged and not engaged. With a twin disc and an adjustable master cylinder I think this data would help troubleshooting.

Andrew: I think the linear will be easier to mount, but yeah a little expensive.
imma_stocker: Interesting idea too. I'll do some research on that. Thanks.

Some Mercedes cars use a linear sensor for their DBW pedal sensor.
Or you could probably adapt a non linear type sensor, lots of cars these days with xenon headlights have suspension height sensors which could be adapted.
Or the simplest of getting some sort of reading, a pressure sensor on the hydraulic line. A 0-50bar sensor should cover almost any clutch type.
Although really...what are you trying to achieve or learn from it ?
