Clutch Adjuster Kit

[SpicyRay]

okay, so i checked out that "Project MSP" article in Turbo magazine. seems like they're just going to do what members here have done, turn up the boost, FMIC, downpipe, exhaust-in other words, nothing new. i noticed in their last section, they mentioned a clutch adjuster kit by arospeed that shortens the distance that you need to push the clutch. for myself, i think it would be great for the rush hour drives, has anyone tried it yet?

AeroSpeed Clutch Adjuster

Has anyone installed or tested this item yet? If it adds comfort in rush hour, I;d be interested. If you think it's a gimmic let me know.

I did search, but no one seemed to have any info on it. Links below.
Thanks

I dunno but would really like to change the way the clutch engages in mine. It has very limited slippage until the top where there is less than an inch to play with it grabbing. If this would help that I would get it, I have heard of people using this though.

i posted this a while back

It is interesting though, i would be afraid i would set it wrong, and i would burn my clutch up.

 

[SpicyRay]

whoa, i forgot about this, but boy, rush hour sucks, this clutch is realllly heavy after a long, long, long day at school.

Hmm... It would be nice to shorten the throw some. As it stands, my clutch engages right at the top, and if I ease off slowly, then let off too quickly, it pulls and bucks a tad. I'd prefer to have the clutch off once I got a few inches off of it. =)

wow, i thought this clutch was light. i guess for a stock clutch it may be a tad on the heavy side, but i've gotten used to driving aftermarket clutches i guess. my last clutch was an act2600 (xtreme i think they call it) pressure plate with a street disk. now that's heavy, this is nothing

 

[flat_black]

Yeah, this clutch is really, really light, IMO. Heavy in comparison to a stock VW Golf clutch, though. =) Hehee. I liked the clutch feel on the WRX STi... THAT was nice and firm... Really let you know when you were slipping the clutch, fully engaged, or off. =)

A funny thing I just noticed; That link from AutoAll.com has the clutch adjusters priced at 33.60...

Arospeed has it on their own site for 29.99.

I am planning to get one of them as soon as I can get the time to call arospeed and order one. I don't know when that will be, but I'll post a review once I have it.

I see great things since my clutch is fully disengaged about 2" into it's travel, so the remaining travel is unnecessary...

Edit: I just ordered the kit, so I'll review it once I have it installed.

i ordered one, i should get it tomorrow or thurs. when i install it i will post the details

A friend of mine has one on his 90 M3, and it made a huge difference, expecially for autox-ing. I'm thinking about getting one before too long. Just my .02

 

[csman22]

Tommy, that's what I wanted to hear. I'm getting it.

And it's not so much that the cllutch is "heavy" it's that it's a long throw and it, as your buddy in the m4 stated, improved.

Board...let me know what you think, but I think the thing will work fine.

Flat_back...thanks for the reminder to go direct

Ahh, what the hell; I'll order mine from the speed shop today. =) They should be able to get it to me tommorow for pretty cheap. Lets see who posts thier install first! Oh, and if someone gets it really soon, want to scan the instructions for the rest of us to see? Hehee...

Good luck!

 

[flat_black]

Anyone got it on, yet? =) I've been lazy, and havn't ordered it yet.

 

[bored132]

just picked mine up, installing it when it stops raining

 

[xelderx]

This seems like a good cheap mod. Keep us up to date on the install. I'm guessing it will work on the Pro5/MP3 clutch too? Driving in NOPI traffic had me saying a thing or two degrading about my clutch pedal.

 

[bored132]

still raining, ****** florida! I guess tomorrow mourning
"if weather permits"

 

[SpicyRay]

yeah, keep us updated when u get it installed. okay, so its not the heaviness thats killing me, its that long throw! still though, it is heavier than other clutches ive felt.
