[ErikNYC]

Just did this mod, works great. Thank you!

I do have an extra set available just like u see in post one with, ready to stick right on. I went to Home Depot, and one batch makes two sets. Just stick right on your clutch pedal.

$8 shipped in the USA, I take Paypal.

Hey, sorry to bring up an old thread, but I didn't want to start a new one to ask a few questions.
Anyways, I'm going to try this DIY fix this weekend, but I was wondering if someone could explain to me a bit clearer how these nail-on glides or coins help with easier driving with the g. Especially with hills, how does this fix make driving up hills easier? I don't get it when you say "you don't have to let the clutch up half-way to get the car moving". What's going on there? Thanks, any help is appreciated.

It will help when going up hill, because as soon as u start coming up off the clutch pedal then clutch will start grabbing earlier than normal. The clutch will grab and pull the car sooner than later when letting off the clutch pedal. Just do it worth it for everyone... You will love it.


I use to be able to adjust my clutch the same with my older G20, it was a non hydraulic cable clutch setup.

You will get the hang in no time... You best bet and when I was taught to drive stick, it was on a hill. Go out when you are free, and drive up and down a hill. Of course on a hill that is not busy with traffic. Trust me once u get the hang, u will start having fun with all hills... except during ice and snow.


PS: A friend told me when I started driving stick to let go of the clutch on the hill and as soon as u see the tach start to drop rpm's to start giving the car gas. Might work for u.

You will also notice in due time, your best and funniest time of ur life driving was when u was learning to drive stick... I miss those embarrassing nervousness days.

But what if there is traffic on a hill...then I'll just be rocking my car..no
I mean the most annoying thing I'm experiencing right now is when there's traffic that creeps slowly, then stops, then creeps again. It's very easy to stall in this situation especially when I only have to move 3-4 feet up the hill every 30 secs, being careful not to rear end the guy in front and fall back far enough to hit the tailgater at the back

But aside from that, I just hope this fix makes it more comfortable on hills and traffic, and yea I will remember these embarrassing and nerve racking days

I have an '06 with only 50k and my clutch is going out. I was just going to buy a stock one to replace it, but I've been reading the stock clutches are junk. Any suggestions???
