Default Textralia clutch in NNJ
Anyone have a Textralia clutch installed? I just had one installed, not crazy about the pedal feel and would love to feel another car with this clutch. Anyone in NNJ with this installed?

Thanks,

Sam

How's the pedal feel? Mine is a tad light, I'd almost prefer a little more effort. But the engagment is very streetable, though it grabs and holds without a problem.

I think Im just not used to, it grabs lower than my other clutches...and it grabs great,..just a tad soft, but i guess once it gets worn more it will get stiffer.

maybe...maybe not. Textralia is known for its stock pedal feel and thats what makes it a good clutch. eventually you'll get used to it. going from a Spec 3 to that clutch took some getting used to but i was pleasantly suprised with how it performed.

The engagement may move up some, I kind of remember mine starting off low when I installed it, but the pedal effort likely won't change.
