Absolutely no need for caution with this pedal assembly to preserve CSC life. As the AFP setting increases the stroke at the master cylinder and in turn the CSC is being decreased proportionately. So even at full stroke on the RJM pedal you'll always be getting something less than full CSC stroke and preserving it's useful lifespan anytime the AFP is setup over the 0% mark(same as stock) with most running an AFP in the 60-90% range.

That's not to say you need to do a full stroke when shifting though as I typically shift at something less than full stroke 99% of the time and only fully press the clutch when starting from a stop or when starting up. Otherwise just do what works and feels natural without any worry for the CSC.

Great! Thanks Ryan. For some reason, my shifts are smoother when I depress the clutch all the way as opposed to doing a shorter stroke.

Hey Ryan,

So I just bought the pedal assembly kit and the clevis, however I dont have the tools to install it and dont know anything about changing these things and am thinking of sending it to the Nissan dealership near me. Anything I should let them know of before in terms of setting the correct AFP %? I want to pay as little as possible in labor/installation fees and just want to let them know what to expect so they dont spend too much time reading the instructions

Hi WELL ZED,
The dealership is probably the last people I'd trust to do a quality install for cheap, especially on aftermarket parts. I would highly recommend any small local shop, a local performance tuning shop or even a handy friend to help you for a case of beer over taking it to the dealership. As for what to tell them the AFP comes pre-set to the initial starting position on the latest Rev3.1 version so they shouldn't need to do anything with that for basic install. Otherwise following the installation guide is 110% recommended for the shop or dealership because I've heard of far too many shops who thought they knew everything and threw the instructions away only to send the customer home with a poorly installed unit with lots of issues for me to sort out with the customer afterwards.
I hope that helps point you in the right direction and to avoid the pitfalls I've seen others fall into with some shops.

Best Regards,
Ryan@RJM
