Interesting Pedal Feel After Clutch Install

BlackZeda · 02-23-2015, 12:51 PM

I had just the clutch and flywheel replaced with Jim Wolf Technology products, while the bearing was replaced it still OEM.

With just those changes the clutch pedal feel is completely different and much improved after driving it awhile now. What you are describing is what I immediately noticed. It feels like from no to full engagement is about a quarter of the previous travel distance, with about 3/4 of it being fully engaged and "dead".

With that being said the performance clutch has only improved the performance of the Z.

Yeah, maybe this is a normal feeling after coming from the stock clutch. I wouldn't say my total travel has decreased much, but the engagement period is definitely longer. Rather than having a very short, high engagement (stock) it is now lower and longer. It is just the top 10% or so that is just useless pedal travel after the clutch is fully engaged.

But definitely agree... this setup is 100x better than stock either way.
