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? Attached image(s)

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? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

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...

because no two clutches are the same (wear, resurfaced etc etc). once the clutch arm is all the way in (disengaging the clutch) moving the pedal further down will only stretch the cable but not move the clutch arm any further (cause it can't go anywhere once it's all the way in) ... so what you do is, you pull down the clutch pedal (by hand) and have a buddy check the clutch arm in the rear. once the arm hits it's max. movement you adjust the stop so you can't move the pedal any further down ... same with the throttle stop behind the gas pedal. have a buddy move the throttle body on the engine to WOT and hold it there. then you move down the accel. pedal until you feel the cable to be tight. then adjust the gas-pedal-stop so you can't move the gaspedal any further down ... doing this will greatly prolong the life of your cables and save you the major headache of rewelding your clutch tube ...

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. |

Hold off on replacing the stop?
Sure... I never even fully depress the pedal. M |

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