Drove my dads rx8 (clutch question)


the clutch is like 1-3 inches to engage and requires min work, the weight of my toe would do it. Is there a way to make mustang clutch like this? And again has anyone used the mgw adjustable handle?

I think he means the universal handle that mgw makes that doesnt fit the mgw shifters.. Mustang Shift Handle

It works for most factory shifters and i havent heard of anyone with it yet..

if the clutch mechanics are good that must be where that $30k price tag comes in... it doesn't matter if you have a 1.4l engine making 200+ hp if it makes 2 lb-tq at 20k rpms and you have to rebuild it every 5k miles.

I don't think you can get it that soft, but there are low pressure option clutches like the ones Spec offers. Don't know how soft they are.

Yes, and it is a 29 dollar option when ordering clutch. Supposed to bring it down to near stock or lower pedal pressure.
