Default Polars DYI- Removing empty/dead clutch pedal travel

With my new button clutch and 2800pound pressure plate setup the only part of my clutch pedal travel that bites is the last 4cm of travel.

There was an additional probably 9cm behind this. So that when I pressed the clutch all the way in it was almost touching the carpet.

With my short shifter gearstick this mean that I could always change into the next gear much faster than I could depress clutch and release which made for annoying shifting.

THE FIX!!!!! Simply remove 1.5cm-2cm of clutch pedal travel by installing a larger stopper in the place where the factory has installed a tiny stopper.

The factory stopper is so small that it does not even make contact with the clutch pedal at all.

Step 1.

Get a thin long bolt and some nuts. And screw enough nuts onto the bolt so that the bolt end section now is about 1.5cm tall.

Step 2.

Now simply remove the white factory rubber stopper with your fingers and you will see a hole.

Step 3.

Place bolt stopper into hole and screw a nut from other other side.

FINISHED.

You should now have a bolt sticking out of the factory stopper position and when clutch pedal goes down it stops against the end of the bolt 1.5cm higher than it used too.

Took it for a wrap around the block and gearchanges are much easier without having to put my foot through the bottom of the car and they are faster and BOV does not open as much.

NINJA CHANGES!

Comments or suggestions welcome.
