Clutch pedal stopper (limiter)
Category: Accessories
Price: $80
Location (State): AL
Item Condition: Brand New
LS Engine?: Fits LS Engine
FS:
4th gen f-body M6 adjustable clutch pedal stopper that limits the amount of pedal travel with performance clutches. If you have a performance clutch and it starts to engage many inches or even well away from the floorboard, then this pedal limiter will remove that "dead" area between the floor and the engagement point by shortening the clutch pedal travel. No more "hunting" for the sweet spot for the clutch to start to grab.
The limiter is adjustable so it can be dialed into the exact engagement point that you require.
Should not be used not with stock clutches or light performance clutches that start to grab right off the floorboard.
Installs in 5 minutes to the existing master cylinder u-bolt and includes hardware. Absolutely no modding to the car required.
This is a custom made part that you will not find anywhere else.
$80.00 shipped to 48 states.

Got mine in the mail yesterday. Well put together I fought with it at first, because I pulled the nuts from the master. After a while I realized you designed it to be placed on top of them easier to install that was, I was just confused ha-ha! Thanks man! Works great!!

The switch on mine is adjustable. Just have to lengthen it if need be. Or at worst, shim it a bit. That said, nobody has raised the actual concern so I will assume that the switch operational "range" was not adversely affected by those who have used it.

I have my switch zip tied closed. You can also just hook the wires together. It's actually a little bit hard on the thrust bearing to have the clutch pedal engaged while starting,especially with a heavy pressure plate. Just imagine all that force pushing the crank forward with no oil. I disable the clutch switch in any car I own.
On another note, I absolutely love this clutch stopper. Being able to adjust the engagement point helped me out a ton on taking off smoothly with this 6 puck clutch. No more hunting for the engagement point taking off from a stop light. Just push the pedal as far as it goes and it starts to engage nearly immediately when I start to raise my foot. I love it

Here is some more info.
Clutch disks (typically stock or light performance) that have a marcel or wave spring between the linings, typically require a full length clutch pedal. The marcel spring will compress as the clutch is engaged thus the longer pedal. In these cases, the pedal limiter should NOT be needed since its likely the clutch will start to engage, right near the floor.
Now in the case with racing and performance disks that do NOT use the marcel spring. These clutches will likely always have a much shorter length clutch pedal and this is where my limiter will work its magic. Thats because there is no marcel spring to compress.
So from my experience, a NON marcel disk type clutch set-up will start to grab when the pedal has moved several inches away from the floor. The limiter simply removes that "dead" spot. Hope that helps to further clarify.

I have a 2000 trns am . Just installed new "improved" GM master Cylinder. So everything is stock. Car only has 20,000 miles and is not driven hard. The clutch pedal is now about 1.5 inch above the brake pedal. (note it was even with brake pedal before changing master cylinder.) ( wish I would have read foram before I would have put in an adjustable MC)
The engage is up pretty high. The pedal slack is less then 1/2 inch which seems correct. . Clutch engages about 2 inches after start pedal presure so very high off floor.
Not happy with pedal height or how high pedal engages clutch. There is no slipping and am pretty sure clutch plates are in good shape.
Will your device help. Not sure exactly how it works. Can you explain further --- it would seem to me if it moves the pedal down then the clutch would be engaging..
Was thinking of putting shim in between firewall and MC. That would move pedal down and in effect lower engage point.
Any suggestion s.
