Mine got here yesterday but there was nobody available to sign for it, so it got picked up today, safe and sound.

Opened it up. Fondled the parts. Mmmmm. Pretty. Uh, mechanically speaking, of course.

I know what I'll be doing tomorrow afternoon.

Things didn't work as planned, and I didn't get to the pedal assembly swap until today.

I'd rather rebuild an entire engine than wrench on three bolts under the dash. That being said the hardest part was taking the stock one out. Oh, and getting that wire tie threaded through that little hole. Installation itself was a breeze.

Still, all things considered not really all that hard. The instructions were thorough. I missed the blue plastic bumper until I was sitting around looking at the old assembly. I'll bet it's a lot easier to swap onto the new one on the bench. Still, that was my fault.

I am extremely happy with the change. I totally agree with everyone who said this is how it should have been all along.

Great product! Very good instructions. Timely delivery. Even though I hate working under the dash, I'm extremely glad I did it.

I didn't have all that much trouble taking off from a stop, even robustly. My problem was the following shifts. Under power, shifts had a tendency to be quite jerky. This modification completely changed that.

What i mean is feathering the clutch on launch is hard when its like a light switch either totally engaged or totally disengaged. With 435whp it gets a little jumpy lol this mechanism gives more feathering space which is why i want it lol

Did you have no issues with ensuing shifts? I would think that with so much more HP to the ground you'd be nearly snapping the passenger's neck.

I certainly agree that you should see substantial improvement. I'll be quite surprised if you do not find this change to be a night and day sort of thing.

Glad to hear everything went well on the install and you're enjoying the new pedal. :tup:

Its really hard to describe just how much better these cars feel with the redesigned pedal assembly installed and really needs to be experienced to be believed :driving:

This is beyond a doubt true. Everyone with the manual transmission in their 370Z owes this to themselves.

Ryan, is there a way to adjust the pedal height without affecting the clutch rod position? I know the two pre-installed loose bolts (7/16") allow a large portion of the assembly including the pedal to slide up and down, but this directly impacts the position of the CMC rod. I have found that to have the rod horizontal, which I understand is how it needs to be, the pedal has to be lowered all the way down. It is even with the brake pedal and looks fine, but I'm finding the toe of my boots hit the upper arm of the pedal on occasion. TBH, I'm not exactly sure how the new pedal height compares to the stock pedal height.

Is there another way to adjust the pedal height? I ask because I will be installing a new CMC this week, so I'll be working in the vicinity if there's something I can do. If not, it's not really bothersome - I just happened to notice it a couple of times since the install.

JARblue, you can independently move the height of the lower arm section up/down up to 3/4" by loosening the 3 bolt connection between the upper/lower arms allowing the arm to be "clocked" to a new angle and then tighten it back up again. Although the adjustment you mentioned above with the 2 bearing pre-load bolts is specifically just for aligning the clutch rod for a straight push of the linkage and not intended for height adjustment beyond leveling the rod.
Hope that helps a bit but I suspect what you're trying to do is raise the entire assembly more on the firewall which can't be done.

Not hard to describe at all... ******* awesome! :icon17:

Ryan, I do not think I can add anything that has not been said already by others. All vendors should take note of how you operate. Great communication all the way through the whole transaction and a solid product. :tup:

P.S. Now that I bought mine, you really should be charging more :rofl2:
