I doubt it would they would get enough profit out of what that would require to make work

Ordering everything you listed tomorrow. Gonna give it a shot while the ground is snow covered and can't drive the car anyhow!!!

I will also take time and document the same process with pics…etc. With any luck I can get a few clearer pics now that we know this will in fact work and isn't completely experimental.

Cool. PM me if you want my email and phone number and Ill be happy to answer any questions. Ive been driving the car like I stole it over the past week and no problems other than my ET Streets are wearing out quicker than I expected.

Out of curiosity...what is your slave shimmed to?

Psycobilly, PM'd

Parts are on the way. I was informed that there is no 2.5" pedal assembly adjust. I did however have them send me the shortest they had, which was from the C5 kit. Hopefully this is the right part, I will confirm later

You need the 2.5 inch one. Ill check my emails from them I remember them saying that what it was. I never measured it.

Its a C5 one and he said he thought it was 2.5 inches. Definitely the C5 adjuster though

It was just under a quarter of an inch or whatever the recommended amount was by RPS using their adjustable adapter when I did it. I had a shop shim it again last time and they put another one in there so its probably down a bit more. Im thinking about removing the shim they put in now so I get more life out of the clutch. Not in a hurry though. Im really enjoying being able to drive it.

Update...I got in the car this morning and broke the clutch pedal. The stud that holds the standoff to the pedal assembly sheared in half.

I ordered a stainless standoff and am going to tack weld it to the pedal assembly after I screw it back in.

I changed the standoff part link earlier in the post with the stainless one.

you mentioned pulling a shim for clutch life.. where exactly in the pedal throw is it disengaging?

gtistile

I don't know if anyone else is currently tackling this… The standoff in the link is massively too large of a diameter. unless you want to cut away at the pedal bracket AND cut the original pin off, this won't work….

Headed out to find something else that might work

I haven't taken mine apart to try it yet. Let us know what you end up doing. I have a friend that is a machinist. Ill probably have him put it on his lathe and trim it down before welding.

If you find something that works Ill change the link in the post.

Its disengaging as soon as I start to press on the pedal. Plenty of room to pull the shim and probably still adjust the pedal

gtistile

I went in to grainger last night and ordered the exact same standoff that you originally used, only a steel version. same dimensions and everything. ill post the part # when it gets delivered! should be perfect though

gtistile

Just wanted to update. I had some issues along the way, mainly with bleeding the system. Ultimately I had a bad or damaged master and leaky -AN fitting.

Got everything 100% bled today… and it is AWESOME to be able to shift this car again. I'll post my pictures and 2 cents on getting this done in the next day or so! For now, I'm stoked!
