Clutch Pedal Stop Install
#62
Here is a question for you guys... I plan to do the clutch stop on my tc. I currently have an alarm/remote start installed on my car, and it bypassed my clutch. So i do not even need to use my clutch to start my vehicle... I still do, but i have without it... Do i need to worry about that step of this project, or is the clutch engage switch only matter for starting the car?

Ive devised a clutch stop that is unobtrusive to ur stock stuff down there.
0 Gauge Wire.
My audio system is running thick extra heavy duty wrapped Kicker 0 gauge wire and we ran it to a pre-existing hole behind the 3 pedals.
Lol it just so happens that when i clutch now im hitting the wire...and causing no damage to it either cause its so thick!!
i can move it out and away if i want to, which i did, for a day, and it felt crappy
so my 0 gauge clutch stop is back and in working order.

here's how i did mine. as you can see, i drilled a hole way too big into the preexisting hole so i ditched that method. here is what i came up with and turns out to be a lot more simple too.
both bolts are M6x20. i used 6 washers on the bottom so it's long enough to press on the clutch disengagement switch. you have to drill a hole for the bottom bolt. then i used a 1/4" star washer for the 3 nuts so it's less likely to get loose from vibration, etc. the nuts are flange nuts. got everything at OSH for under 5 bucks.

vice grip the clutch to the metal structural piece u see in the back. or have someone step down on it. then start with a small drill bit to start a hole, and go up to the final size bit.

I just did this mod today. I ended up doing it like tekstyle did and using 2 bolts and washers. The hardest part was drilling the hole for one of the bolts. After i killed 3 drill bits i finally went to the hardware store and bought a cobalt drill bit.
As far as results, this mod is great! It got rid of all that extra slack in the clutch and shifting seems much easier and faster. I can zip through the gears now alot faster.
Great mod! Thanks again tekstyle
