I had the new front tires installed yesterday. When I was 100 yards down the road I saw some movement in the right side mirror that startled me. It was I. The mirror had been turned in to make more room on the lift.

So I started a very ambitious project this morning: I decided to swap out my manual transmission for an automatic. I got the clutch pedal removed (see photo) before realizing this was the stupidest decision ever. Since the clutch pedal was out, I went ahead and installed an RJM Performance clutch pedal assembly that has been laying around my garage since mid-January. Best mod ever /discussion.

Please ignore the state of the footwell in the photo. It is now clean

Absolutely phenomenal!

I just got back from more testing this morning, and I'm still overwhelmed by the improvement over the crappy stock clutch pedal assembly. As much as people complain about stock, I just learned to live with it - I didn't have any problems driving it smooth. Now that I have the RJM Performance clutch pedal assembly installed, I don't know why I didn't complain more about the stock clutch action. It is simply terrible in comparison. This is the assembly Nissan should have used for OEM. Hats of to Ryan for an incredible product

I cannot add anything to Mr. JAR's assessment. The pedal turns the car into something new altogether. Why did I wait so long to install it????

After waiting more than a year to actually purchase it (my wife finally bought it for my bday this year), after letting it sit in my garage for over 3 months, and after a less difficult than expected install, I went inside to bang my head on the kitchen counter for 15 minutes straight while bitching at myself for not doing it sooner

Mine came with the car, I don't think on my own I would have ever spent the money for them. Ironically, every time I get in my car I smile a bit when I see them. Very cool, but subtle improvement.

I think you will like them too.

They were on my 40th and I liked them. They make me smile too.
