Pressure of the Clutch Pedal?
I was wondering what plays into the amount of pressure your pedal takes to engage the clutch. I swear everytime I bleed my McLeod MC I get a different pedal pressure, so it can just be the springs on the pressure plate.
Ultimately my pedal pressure is like 50-75lbs. right now. Good workout, but in traffic it's not fun. I was wondering if switching to an adjustable stock master would give me a more stock like clutch pedal pressure.

I dont think its the hydraulics that gives you pedal pressure... I think its the clutch itself. The pressure plate... Some of the pressure plates have stronger springs (fingers) and require more pressure to push down.
My car with stock dyrdaulics and a Spec 3 has a decent pedal weight to it. No idea what it is in lbs...but its definetly a good deal lighter than my buddies car with everything stock.
Im a pretty big guy, so the weight doesnt really bother me. Stop and go traffic gets alittle annoying at times, but I think its just the stop and go part, not really pedal pressure. haha.

My twin has pretty decent pedal pressure. Firm but not that heavy. One trick is to put it into neutral at lights and when stuck in heavy traffic for a train,etc. Still if stock is a 1 then my current twin is maybe a 4 or 5. Some single clutches are way heavier. Most twins are pretty good for pedal pressure.
