I didn't need anywhere near the full pedal throw with the cc twin.

 

The issue is that you dont need all the pedal throw to disengage the clutch so why waste the extra motion. I have used pedal stops on all the twins I have owned.

 

Anyone have pics of the setups?

 

EXEDY doesnt need one.

 

im curious on this too... my twin disc catches very low... do you guys put the pedal stop on the top or bottom?

 

I tryed one on my CC twin , and it shifted ok driving around town , but when I took it past 7000 rpm , it would lock me out of gear , so I adjusted the rod on the clutch peddle all the way short , works for me

 

when would you know you need a pedal stop?

i have been running the Exedy twin for over 2 years now with no pedal stop, making decent power, with out a single issue. however i just installed one for some "things" im trying.


Yoni, thanks for the help on the pedal stop we talked about...it actually worked very very well. completely adjustable too i think i can still shorten the pedal travel a little bit, but im pretty happy with where its at right now.


EXEDY

I was told by cc that it's better to have the clutch grab closer to the top and then adjust your pedal stop from there. So you can eleminate any excess travel so you can have a quicker shift. The idea is to not go over center on the pressure plate so you dont damage it.

no answers?

 

you can test this by having the car up on jack stands, and slowly pushing the clutch pedal toward the floor until you can spin the tires(you will need 2 people for the task) then when it disenguages, you need about 1/8-1/4 of more pedal travel, any more than that, and you will damage the pressure plate.

 

I don't use one.

 

an easy way to do this is with a bolt through the clutch start switch hole with a lock nut. I havnt had any issues with my CC twin without a stop.

how do you guys get through tech with that?

 

what does this have to do with tech anyway, it should not even come close to being a failed item...and tech doesnt really look up way under your dash?

 

a saftey factor so you cant start the car unless you are sitting in it?

i know our racecars are "start-a-ble" with out pushing the clutch pedal in. although it would be smart to utilize this saftey feature.

 

oh, i dont think twice on that, ive always undid that feature on my race cars.
