Guys, I was vaccuming my pedal area so I removed the wooden board. I forgot to take a pic beforehand so I need you guys to show me the correct placement for the metal doohickey behind the clutch hole.
Is this correct, or should the black thing be behind the board?

Follow the washer marks, they will guide you

Looks good to me.
I said I was an idiot! I was just woried that the black thing was supposed to be behind the wood (Although my brain said no). What is that thing?
Clutch pedal stopper, prevents you from hitting the floor and stretching the clutch cable too much and having another winter project.
Thanks, I supposed they intended it to be adjustable up and down? Hmm. Why?
yes, that's correct ...
that "doohickey" is the stop for the clutch-pedal. without it (or mal-adjusted) you will overstretch your clutch cable and if you're lucky, you'll "only" brake the cable, if you're not so lucky, you'll brake the clutch tube inside the center tunnel ...
the "black thing" is where your clutch pedal rod is supposed to hit the stop ...
btw. clutch stop adjustement (as well as throttle stop adjustement) is done best with 2 poeple, one in the back watching the clutch arm (working the throttle) and one adjusting the pedal stop accordingly ...

The stop shouldn't need adjusting 99/100 in a complete car...

So, should I be worried? I just installed it where the old washers had left an imprint.
Hijaaked! Does anyone have the rubber for the pedal stop? Mine left this world many many moons ago. Now that I've rebuilt my cluster and have the Alumunium board (thanks Engman!) I want the rubber stop. Anyone?

The hard part would be replicating the metal bracket the rubber is held by (if that's missing also). If you can't find the rubber let me know. Simple cavity mold. |
"yes. i'd be worried. you never know if the PO knew what he was doing. get a helping hand and adjust it once and be done with it ..."
Could it hold off till next weekend if I clutch lightly?
Hold off on replacing the stop?
Sure... I never even fully depress the pedal.

How do you know if the clutch tube is busted or the cables are shot?

Hi guys,
right procedure to adjust clutch cable and stop:
Adjust the nut at the end of the clutch cable where it connect to the through out arm, so that you can move the pedal about 15-20mm

after that adjust the pedal stop just enough, so you can shift in reverse without grinding. Thats what the manuel say.
