Good write up- been following your clutch adjust threads for a while...I like that stop idea...tough I have not had my clutch stick as of yet...I wonder if it has to do with wear some??? I only have 12K on my 2000 MN6...or I drive like an old lady!

Cheers!

Well honestly.. I have not had it too bad on my present stock clutch..(My previous one would hang up any time!) But that clutch is seriously just bad.. It slips over 4000rpms at WOT.. I felt that the the extra pedal travel we not good for the Clutch, Nor my time slips at the track...

I am having a new Cartek clutch put in this weekend and will keep the pedal stop simply to eliminate any un needed pedal travel.. Also to keep from overcentering the Clutch Springs...

Charlie are you boosting internet ideas again? I thought Mr. Gore warned you about that, shortly after HE INVENTED the interweb. Now get the damn thing fixed and get to the track.

...it looks like a great idea...maybe the rubber caps from the hood adjustment stops would be better than the felt furniture pads?

Thanks for the right up! I really need to do this as I have so much needless travel in my clutch. If I don't let it out just right, I get all kinds of shakes and noises; it looks like I don't know how to drive.
