So before I begin with this mini-writeup, let me first say that I am NOT going to debate the usefulness of a clutch stop. I have an Exedy Hyper Twin, and not only is it stiff, but there's WAY too much useless travel on the back-end. This clutch engages very close to the neutral point, so having to push it all the way in to start the car is a PITA.
***I do not know if this mod is good for a stock clutch... Do this, or any other car modification, at your own risk!
So, for less than $10 of hardware store parts, I built myself an adjustable clutch stop. This way, the clutch bottoms out long before it hits the floor. I had to add 2 washers beneath the plastic ferrule, and the foot base to make it the proper height, but you may have to play around with different heights to find out what works.
The stop is composed of an "easy slide" furniture foot, and a self adhesive furniture foot pad. These 2 items are easily found in any hardware store, along with the 1/4 id washers to shim it.
You need to first remove the clutch stop "pad," then drill the hole to accommodate the plastic ferrule. Screw in the new clutch stop, and set the desired height.
***IMPORTANT STEP There are 2 sensors on the top of the clutch base. The TOP sensor is the clutch engagement sensor to start your car! This MUST be adjusted to match the new travel of the clutch pedal assembly. Easy enough, just unscrew the nuts, adjust, and re-tighten.
