Clutch Stop Source?
Gents,
Hello, new to the forum. I should be receiving my 05 6MT here within a week. I have test driven both a 2003 and 2004 G35 Coupe, and have noticed an extremely long clutch throw. What I was wondering is if anyone has installed a clutch stop on their cars yet? I have owned 2 E36 M3's and have found the clutch stop to be a great modification with those cars.
If you have installed a clutch stop, or know where to source one from for the G35, that information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I don't think you would want to install a clutch stop on a G35.
Correct me if I'm wrong:
For some reason the E36 M3's clutch pedal travel was "very long" according
to M3 drivers and they felt a need to install a clutch stop to shorten the
travel. I believe the way the M3's clutch works though, is that the pedal
does not need to go all the way to the floor, the clutch is actually already
disenagaged at 3/4ths of the way down. Therefore, installing a clutch stop
is relatively harmless.
However, the clutch on the G35 and most Japanese cars requires the clutch
pedal to go all the way down to the floor for full proper disenagement.
You can test this on your G35; put the clutch 3/4ths of the way down and
try to shift. If you grind the hell out of your tranny and break something,
it's your own fault :P
