Did you have any clutch play @ the top of the pedal?

 

Yes, there was a tiny bit. I adjusted the nut&bolt to eliminate it though, you have to adjust it so that it hits the stopper rightttt at where the free play begins. Easy to do.

 

love it man...feels like a manly clutch now....
nothing against guys who like a softer pedal

 

Glad people are still checking out this mod thread! Enjoy it. I still love mine and its been a few weeks now. No issues!

 

I originally found out this mod because its a little easier to do on a second gen car (yours). I found a thread showing a DIY for 2nd gen and decided to try it out on our first gen cars. Go for it, you will love the difference!

 

It also applies to both 1st & 2nd gens.
The spring setup is different but the end result is the same.

 

Played hookie and completed this today. Took me about 2 hours with taking my time and having some trouble getting the assembly back in. Went out for a ride and it feels great! This combined with the other pedal spacer mod has given a much improved feel when shifting.

Thanks for the DIY!

 

added your video to the DIY Video thread, thanks!

 

sound good man, iam going to start doing it tomorrow

 

Thanks for the support guys, im glad this video is helping out so many people!

 

anyone did this to fix their squeaking clutch pedal? the spring squeaks on and off mostly on.

 

Just remove it period. It will get rid of the squeak if thats whats causing it and it will make thre clutch feel a hundred times better!

 

^idk man i kind of like the push back feeling the clutch has. im assuming the spring is what pusshes the clutch back up. does that pressure get totally removed?

 

^^ No it still has plenty of push back pressure. The clutch itself still has to release the pressure which brings the peddle back up nicely. I honestly dont think i felt much difference in how the peddle comes back up, only how it feels when it engages and releases. It feels a lot more responsive and you can get a better feel for exactly when the clutch pressure releases.

Good thing about the mod is it only takes about 20-30 minutes and is completely reversible. Its worth trying out. There are a lot of people on here who have done this without any complaints. I have been cruising on mine for quite a while now and have had no issues. Completely satisfied. You couldnt pay me to put the spring back in! LOL

 

^^alright u sold me on the idea. the spring squeaking is beginning to embarrass me anyway lol
