go a little further like i did 90. Ryan said it was fine for stock clutch made the car as easy to drive as a 4 speed honda civic lol.

I might play with it with a bit and bump it up to 80,but wow,what a nice improvement to the drivability of the car.

Fact thats why i started this shout out for a great product. Changes the drivability from one of the worst clutch feel's i have ever felt I.E.>and i have driven many. former valet parker here and stick car owner since the 80's. To a very smooth driving feel.

Anyone find that this pedal also helps with downshifting when using rev match? I find that with the stock pedal, it's hard to get a fully dampened downshift (no jerk/lunging) in the low-mid rpm range. The downshift seems to get fully dampened at a higher rpm.

Just wondering.

Now that I got the pedal installed, I answered my own question and this is definitely the case. On downshifts with SRM, the pedal does help to produce a fully dampened downshift, which is amazing. It could almost be done with the stock pedal, but I found that you really really had to be light and easy on the clutch letting it out.

**SRM off: I found it pretty hard to downshift with the RJM pedal without feeling like you're slipping the clutch and without being at a higher than normal rpm when beginning the downshift. I drive with SRM on all of the time anyways.

really? I tried some non-SRM mode downshifting and found it easier to downshift rev match with the pedal than without. well by that I mean a lot smoother.

remember you are drawing out that window so technically even on a regular SRM shift you are still slipping the clutch. instead of a 0.1 second engage/disengage its now 0.15s for example.

it will help prevent it but no guarantees it won't fail.

I would still upgrade your csc and replace the master when the time comes

dvboy · 07-07-2016, 07:40 PM

I will be installing another pedal for a buddy of mine,this time I will spend the extra 5 min to remove the drivers seat.No doubt it will be well worth the time for bigger guys.

I here that I am 5'11'' 212lbs and the install tweaked every bone i have. If i had to do it again the seat would have been removed.

That's a good idea, I'll have to do that.
My pedal is out for delivery in the brown truck as we speak

dvboy · 07-08-2016, 07:25 PM

I have tinkered around with different settings,for me the 75% setting Ryan ships it out with is the best.Great product!!!!!

fantaZ · 07-08-2016, 11:00 PM

Yea Ryan did his homework on the unit 75% is great setting.

night blade · 07-09-2016, 05:31 PM

Just got back from Ryan installing the new 3.1 clutch, I got used to 75% pretty quickly, just dead on in my books.

How do you like it compared to the stock unit?

First off much more smoother shifts, not as much jerkiness from 1 - 2, longer engage means more play with throttle, all equals happy me
