TL;DR If this fat, old man can do it, so can you. :driving:

Haha thanks for the vote of confidence. My mechanical knowledge goes as far as installing pads and rotors...so I'm definitely not a pro, but if the hardest part is getting in and out from under the dash, maybe I might just give it a go.

Definitely not a difficult install except for the cramped working conditions.

You'll be fine. :tup:

About to purchase one to try for myself. Benefits seem to be covered very well in this thread... but... is there any chance this mod will reduce the "tapping" and strange sensations I get through my stock clutch pedal?

These two threads pretty much sum up what I'm talking about:
the370z.com - Clutch Tapping
the370z.com - Clutch Noise

I can't seem to find a definitive cause or solution for this on the forums - some say it's due to the stock pedal, others say it's the CMC/CSC/throwout bearing/shaft issue, and some say it's normal. At least one member said the dealership replaced the clutch assembly and that that fixed it, but it began to happen again after some time.

Honestly, I'm still going to purchase regardless if this upgrade will stop the strange tapping sensation or not. Just curious what to expect. Doesn't seem like anyone else has mentioned this yet as part of the review.

Just finished my install and drive home from my buddies house. WOW! love this new pedal. As far as the tapping feedback, I had it before and I still have it now so, its not the pedal assembly. It must be feedback from the CSC/CMC

Recently put this on my car, nothing new to add that hasn't already been said. Awesome product that truly benefits the driver. Most of us had some issue with the stock clutch pedal feel, and most have gotten comfortable with it. However, it doesn't have to be soo touchy and require so much focus to be smooth. Additionally, for taller drivers, this adds to the general comfort of the vehicle by moving the engagement window and starting pedal posistion lower (adjustable of course). Oh, and customer service, top notch.

just got a black 09 370z sport pkg and installing rjm afp clutch pedal is going to be the first mod.


PS: still waiting for mine

Hi. I installed the rjm clutch pedal as well
And I am lost how to adjust to settings
How do you adjust AFP? Which bolt do I need to loosen or turn? My clutch engages soooo early.
Like less than an inch. This is not normal for sure...
So could someone help me?

david 77845 ... I've alerted Ryan at RJM that you're having problems adjusting the pedal assembly. I expect that he'll be in touch with you within the next day or two. Ryan is the best person to provide advice since he designed and manufactures the assembly. You can contact him yourself at ryan@RJMperformance.com.

Ryan @ RJM 09-09-2014 06:34 PM

40 to 332 thanks, I've tried to be patient and already emailed David no less then 5 times in the past 3 days on how to adjust what he needs. I've explained it in detail multiple times to answer his questions and directed him to follow the install guide steps but he still hasn't followed my instructions :horse:

David, your (5+) emails this afternoon have been replied to... I just got home from work as I work full time days as a Mechanical Engineer in addition to operating RJM and couldn't respond this afternoon.

I outlined exactly what you needed to do in detail in my email to you last night and directed you to the correct section of the install guide to follow on how to raise the friction point by adjusting the clutch rod setting. Now that you've wrongly increased the AFP setting to MAX today instead of adjusting the clutch rod per my emails you'll need to adjust the AFP back down again to be able to get proper disengagement with your factory clutch. This is partly why your engagement is extremely low to borderline not disengaging at all right now. It should be set to between 7 to 8 full turns from fully clockwise as I specified in my email yesterday.

I've directed you in multiple emails to adjust the threaded clutch rod outwards to correct this but at this time I don't believe you've done that so I would highly recommend at this time getting help from a local mechanic, install shop or mechanically minded friend to help you correct the problems that currently exist from not following the installation guides setup instructions carefully.

Respectfully
Ryan@RJM

david77845 09-10-2014 11:48 AM

I got everything settled. I just wanted to know if I got everything right. At this point, the clutch engages a little more than an inch which I believe it is right. AFP was turned c.cwise 7 full turns and the rod is perfect now.
Thank you

i got mine in mail today, i can't wait until i get to install into my car.

acmethod 10-02-2014 07:16 PM

I'm sold. I just ordered. Tried the spring swap, but I still hate the way the stock clutch feels.

Asheth 10-02-2014 09:34 PM

Ordered Monday, shipped on Tuesday and should be here Saturday or Monday.
