The Omni Power clutch master cylinder has been out for a while and it seems that some folks say it's not worth it.

But some others have said that it could actually damage the transmission or clutch.

I have manual 4 wheel disk brakes (4 pot Wilwood in the front), no boost at all so increased pedal pressure is really not much of a worry to me.

I'm also interested in a quick shifter..would appreciate the advice on if that is a good idea as well.

In case anyone is curious, the
the new ratios will be as follows:
1st........... 3.08
2nd............1.9
3rd............1.269
4th............0.966
5th............0.714
F/D............3.47

In case you're wondering why the ratios are so long....the car is a classic Mini by Mini-Tec and weighs 1700 lbs wet, has a JDM B18C Type-R and is now down at Go-Autoworks getting a Garrett GT28RS turbo system. The wheels are 13x7 shod with 195/45-13 tires. So longer ratios will really help. I just was wondering if a short clutch slave cylinder would be of any benefit or potentially cause some issues...like break expensive parts issues.

Thanks for your patience.

Seems to be that it's going to be a trial and error thing. Start with what you ha e and if it doesnt work try that

If you adjust your shifting it won't hurt anything. I tested one of the prototypes for Omnipower and loved it until the seal failed (issue has been corrected with the current units). I had the trans apart several times before, during and after the testing and it didn't cause any damage.

Anyone else running these with a twin disk?

With an Action 1MD (HD single diaphragm) it was pretty stiff but easily driveable. Stop and go in interstate construction for 3 hours was the only time I didn't like it.

What kind of changes in my shifting are we talking about? I'm afraid I would give the "Stig" heart failure as it is.

Hand/foot timing. Pedal will have less travel so you need to correct the actual shift with the hand to sync with the pedal. Just like a stock setup pedal should be fully depressed before you pull it out of gear and should be completely in gear before the pedal is released, otherwise wear will be accelerated.
