It's listed in the Renegade conversion parts list and I'm wondering. What is it. What does it look like. What does it do. Where is it located at.
Thanks |

Its a extender that mounts on the clutch pedal arm at the pedal cluster to give more travel for the clutch. Its used with the older 200mm 8" clutch set up. The newer 228mm 9" clutches don't need this.

the clutch cable will be too short, so you need to do one of the following: get the correct part, bend the arm, add an adapter to the pedal assembly (bad idea, it seems they have a tendancy of causing the throttle to get stuck open) convert to hydralic clutch system |

The extender that renegade and the other conversion companys used change the ratio of the clutch pedal movement.
The stock cable length works fine. It only moved the cable up about a .25" on the pedal lever at the pedal cluster. It was used to give more movement of the clutch. It gives you about 1.25" of travel of the cable vs 1 inch with the stock lever. I used one with a 200mm clutch set up and had no problems with the throttle cable interference at all. Bob |
