I'll probably be putting it in next weekend


i made a sleeve that extended 1/4" and in my opion its easier for the clutch to engage i think its a good upgrade. if you have it already it should only take you about 5-10 min. to install, all you have to do is take off the 2 12mm bolts off and the pin slides out and put the longer one on and bolt it back up.

speed-source says it's not necessary, but recommends it.

don't you mean for the clutch to disengage? since it pushes the fork, that then pushes the clutch off the flywheel...


as for me, I'm going to try it, but I curious as to its result since I barely have to lift my clutch pedal as it is to engage/disengage my spec stage 3 clutch

its not necessary to do any bleeding. just make sure that when you take off the clutch slave off dont touch the clutch pedal.

think it works better to engage and disengage but i think its mainly to engage in my case. i have a stage 3 spec. clutch and when i first installed it i barely lifted the pedal it would go now it feels like i need to lift the pedal about one inch or so, and it was kind of a pain in the ass taking off in 1st gear now with the 1/4 extention i think it makes it alot easier to take of in 1st gear now, just try it and youll what im talking about.
