Clutch Pedal Stop Install
#41
if you are having troubles with the disengage button, just clip the wires coming from it and wire it up to a push button switch that you can install in your dash. That way there will be no problems. When you start your car all you have to do is hold the button.

myself, along with three other manual tc's in our club tried this mod yesterday.
I love it! elimanates all that extra nonsense play in the clutch. It took about 10 minutes and cost less than a buck.

Is it possible to do this mod w/out tapping anything?

I don't have and don't know how many ppl might have a tap set. I'd love to get one though, both metric and english. Any idea how much they run?
I'm being lazy, I'll prolly just look it up right after this, but post up a response anyway, maybe someone else can use the info.
Great write up, awesome pix, just the right amount of detail in the step by step... dude you should go pro and work for a magazine!

you can get the one you need and turn it with pliers for like $1 or a small set would be about 10 bucks but shop around

The guy who said just put an extra stopper on it has the right idea. I was really bored and tired of extra play (not as much as my tC tho! ) in my Si's clutch, and got to looking. Theres like 1cm of room behind the stock clutch stop and the firewall soooooooo... either sticking a new bolt in or just adhering a few of the feet on is the way to go.

I can vouch for the Magic Sliders that Acsilva84 used (Page 2). I did this mod about eight months ago, and it hasn't given me any trobles. The nice thing about them is that they allow for slippage between the Magic Slider and the plastic switch so its not putting any undo lateral stress on it.

Magic Sliders is a good idea makes it much more simpler. I just hope the plastic won't crack after long term use.
So do we heighten the clutch stopper and the disengagement switch by the same amount?

I did not realize how old this thread was! Anyway, I pulled this mod off right now. But did a few things different. I didnt tap the hole, I just drilled through it to accommodate a larger bolt. I didnt use an elevator bolt either, just found a bolt with a WIDE head and used that. Used two nuts, a flat washer, and a lock washer. The flat washer and one nut on the "head" side of the bolt, and the lock washer and other nut on the back side. It was kind of difficult to get the nut on the back side, but with patience and skilled fingers I got it to thread. Then it was just a matter of adjustment.
As far as the neutral safety switch goes, I just got a wire tap and squeezed it together (grounding the two wires to each other). I was never for disengaging the clutch to start the car.
Pretty easy install, took all of ten minutes! Gonna let the guys in my club know about this one...
And like someone said, the clutch is now an on-off switch. No middle ground, I love it.
