THANK YOU! I hated my spongy clutch with over-travel. I ordered the RJM for my 2008 350Z Roadster, hired a skinny 19 year old with mechanical aptitude but not a mechanic to put it in for me, I weight 300lbs LOL Took him 1 hr 45min to install it after watching your video and a few others on youtube. No readjustment was necessary and it feels like a new car with a perfect clutch. It is truly an amazing mod, thanks a million for your video and to RJM for a fantastic product.
Glad to hear you're enjoying it!
so you think telling me I don't need to push my clutch pedal all the way in during shifts , damn I've been driving my car all wrong for 2 years now
Practice in a parking lot. You'll find the car shifts fine pushing it half way.
That's for 350Z and G35s. Judging by your user name this doesn't apply to Hondas.
I drive a g35 now , I use to have a Honda
Ahhh ok. Ya great cars. But ya try driving it different and let me know if it works.
I would look into this pedal though, it'll remind you of your Honda quality lol.
I just finished installing mine. At first I thought it really helped, but the more I drive it, I’m really not sure there’s THAT big of a difference haha. The clutch in my Honda just feels so much more natural. I think I’ve just been spoiled for too long haha
What setting do you have it set to?
@@AnthonyJ350 I left mine on the default setting.
@@mattrittman Try changing it, that's the cool thing about it. You can adjust the pedal position and throw to your liking.
Had the rjm assembly on for the second day now. gotta say the instructions make it seem more complicated than it really is. however the importance of it being done right is justified with it all. the only hard part was actually dealing with cramming myself in a position to be able to do the job (im rather tall so it was quite awkward and hard) however it is quite easy. the only hard part i found was making sure the assembly was mounted right for the clevis to be pushing in at the correct angle. for those that have been bashing this product and video i highly suggest you get one to be proven wrong. i live in texas and the main issue we have with the 350Z's down here is the heat. just daily driving it in hot weather in a bit of traffic will give the mushy pedal feel and of course the dreaded having to pop the pedal back up with your foot every time you shift. i had mechanics tell me i had to change out my bearing and master cylinder and so forth to fix the problem but i knew it had to do with the pedal. after much research with others having the same issue but actually swapping out every other part and still having this issue i finally found this video and after doing the install. IT IS BRILLIANT! i went in to readjust it after a full day of driving. and its unbelievable how good this is. no clicking. no grinding, no sticking to the floor. shifting between gears is so much easier. if you drive a z in a hot climate you know all these problems. Even if you do not have any issues with the pedal i suggest getting this. it will make a day and night difference with your driving.
Awesome feedback! Thanks for letting everyone know this helps a lot in hotter climates! Hope it helped you fall in love with the 350Z again.
Rene Mendoza man hope u ended up getting it. It has done an amazing job for me here. And have had several ppl get it installed too.
as someone who lives in texas, this is very relatable lmao
THANK YOU for this comment! You made my day! This has been stressing me out for a while now. way you described the clutch feeling is exactly what i’ve been trying so very hard to figure out. Ive been in the same boat doing research and being told the same things you were. Always knew it had to do with heat. Thanks again!
Anyone experiencing a thud when depressing the clutch pedal, means a nut has come loose off of the clutch pedal assembly and this is fairly common. It is usually the nut closest to the driver and is upside that comes loose. Tighten the nut back up and the thud will go away when depressing the clutch pedal.
Love the 350z videos, lot's of useful info - please do keep doing them :)
Is anyone having the problem with the clutch not fully disengaging even with the clutch adjustment rod almost all the way out? I know i’m doing something wrong but don’t know what. I have a street performance clutch form Z1 which is known to be a great clutch. If I try to thread the adjustment rod into the clevis even a little bit, I can’t disengage the clutch and therefore am locked out of every gear. Please help.
The slave cylinder might need replacement.
Greetings Anthony, my pedal came in today. Unlike most ppl on here, I actually like the high grab point that Zs have from factory. I just didn't like how the engagement on the Z wasn't smooth, even when I gave it good enough gas. My question is, with the new pedal will I still be able to have my high engagement point for shifting quickly? I just wanted smoother more predictable engagement that's all, thanks man. - Keez
The pedal comes preset, but you can readjust it back to the factory position. Just make sure to read the instructions to see how to adjust it.
The stock pedal is such trash. I cannot drive my car smoothly. Trying to modulate the pedal with your foot all the way off the floor is so difficult
V.Vega You need this mod
AnthonyJ350 I adjusted the rod length to lower the pedal and it's significantly better. Still not as smooth as the old s chassis cars though. Might have to invest in this at some point
It will help with driving making that adjustment. The new pedal you will get longer master and slave cylinder life with the new pedal assembly because it doesn't over extend those parts like the stock pedal does. It honestly feels like a different car after installing this part.
My brother in law is RJM, I bought a 350z as its my 10yrs wanting one. Ryan (RJM) and I have talked so much I had to get one. His clutch will be going in my car this week, as i can tell right away the factory clutch isn't the greatest. I've seen how they're made, and can't wait to get it in. I'll for sure comment after it's in. I probably wouldn't have got the car if I didnt have him to help me with things. Look forward to meeting you when you visit him Anthony. Your videos have helped me for sure! Thank you :)
DJ HEX Ya I can't wait to come down and meet you guys!
This is great! Thank you! I'll have to pick one of these up.
They're a game changer, feels like a new car.
I have a 350z I know the clutch grab point is high, is it really okay to not fully depress the clutch while shifting? And my clutch is extremely heavy and my friends agree. The dealership said they put a nismo clutch in, is that even a thing?
Rusty Bui I'm sure Nissan had some performance clutch available. If you get this pedal assembly it'll make it way easier to drive with that clutch and everything will last longer.
The clutch will just make it slightly lighter. The spring in the pedal assembly is absolutely brutal. I've been running the RJM for 6 months and I cannot recommend it enough.
Rusty Bui you only need to press it to the point where the clutch disc doesn't grind while shifting. any extra force can ruin hardware over time
Rusty Bui Nismo clutch has more clamping force for a higher torque.
If you’re issue is clutch pedal, first have a certified technician (nissan) diagnose.
If it is in fact the clutch pedal because you’re a tall dude then custom pedals suuure.
But these things can very for many individuals.
Master cylinders failing? That’s possible due to the amount of neglect (heat+wear+contamination) the more often you can put a test strip to determine the brake fluids contamination levels. And the sooner you replace the fluid that master should live in there for the life of the vehicle
Thank God for this video. I hope your sponsored for this. Just bought a 07 Z and the owner said he had a new master installed drove it home fine next morning was stuck halfway. I'll get a nissan mechanic to bleed the system and will buy this mod!
I have a good relationship with RJM Performance. They even featured this video on their website.
AnthonyJ350 can you let me know if you ever have a promotion/group Buy for it
supras7 We wont be doing a group buy any time soon but do you live in Canada?
AnthonyJ350 alberta
supras7 Ok cool. Email Ryan (on the front page of the RJM site) because he gives Canadians a better rate because of the exchange rate. Tell him you watched the video and talked to me.
What’s funny is I subconsciously started shifting by pushing the clutch only half way in and I kept telling myself not to as apparently that wears out ur clutch overtime but I guess I’m actually doing it right...only on the Z tho
Correct, that technique will only work on the Z because of the stock design.
Wonderful mod. Do it now. I have been driving manuals since I was fifteen (63 now). Never had any issues with stalling out due to improper clutch/gas engagement. My G35 Sport Coupe changed that. I have stalled out and made jerky shifts into 2nd more than I care to admit. I had to have my seat all the way back to compensate for the early release, which prohibited good heal/toe shifts. I had to turn down the radio to hear the engine when pulling away from stops. If I didn't, I'd either stall out or over-rev. Now it's as it should be. My poor-mans Aston Martin is a joy to drive. Do it now. You won't believe the difference it makes.
Thanks for sharing your experience, this really is the best thing for the driver and car.
Yours is the first comment that mentions the radio -- same problem here, if I have the radio on and can't hear the engine I mess up my shifts in my Z and I've driven stick since 1990 and I'm 62. I think I'm going to try one of these.
I had fun installing the rjm kit. But since I have wilwood master cylinder, I couldn't take off the its Clevis which im not sure if it can on wilwoods. So now I don't know if I should be worried of its pedal travel. During the last few weeks I'm having difficulty shifting into lower gears and reverse gear and i just replaced my slave with no success this past week. The issue comes back after few minutes of driving. Heat related from my ceramic coated rpm long tube headers? Any suggestions? Thanks.
Herb Sales There is a part you need for Wilwood masters. Contact Ryan.
Just got around to installing this in my 04 g35 coupe....It's amazing how it makes the clutch pedal/engagement feel normal...I think I may need to adjust the clevis in some, though....There's still a "dead" spot after letting the clutch out....What do you think, Anthony??? Thanks for the awesome vids!!!
My main concern is the harsh nose diving effect when shifting from 1st to 2nd and downshift into those lower gears. It makes my car buck and nose dive badly so badly. I've driven other cars and trucks with manuals and my 07 G35 sedan is probably the worst. I've driven a 370Z and G37 sedan 6mt and they felt the same way. The 1st generation of G35s didn't feel any near as harsh or difficult to drive smoothly. Does this pedal eliminate that?
postersurfman1It should because it gives you proper modulation for street use.
clutch control is key yo! nice thorough vid.
thizzface Thanks! I figure everyone with a manual and this chassis will appreciate this video. Please share it.
AnthonyJ350 oh yea I picked up those energy spring mount bushings. you were right. huge improvement and way more comfortable
Anthony what up where i can find the clutch pedal kit for the 350z
erick dominguez rjmperformance.com
a good mod is the seat positioning I have it positioned to where my leg fully extended can't put the pedal to the ground
Daniyal S. You do want to make sure you can put your foot against the dead pedal so you can push hard on it in corners to help hold you in the seat. Mind you, you have to be going pretty fast to warrant that.
not everyone is 5ft tall to where they can do that in the z
I want this. But $300 is tough XD
It's worth every penny, especially since it helps the master and slave last longer. Not to mention the car is so much more satisfying to drive.
@@AnthonyJ350 I will get one. Just need more funds.
@@523motorsports awesome
I'm always over stroking the master and the slave.
Thanks for the feedback
G35 05 clutch is stiff hard to press with my hand new oem exedy clutch throw out bearing all the good stuff new slave and new master bled the system multipli times pedal still stiff will this make it soft
It will make it smoother and easier to modulate. It's a must have in a manual 350Z or G35.
I'm getting a new Z1 clutch and flywheel (also a CSC elimination kit and and OEM clutch master cylinder) soon because after almost 160k miles, my original clutch has finally started slipping noticeably. 2.5 years of living in the city and commuting in traffic (with hilly terrain and roads) have expedited my clutch wear. That being said, I wonder how this clutch pedal assembly would react with a new clutch kit... I know that you can adjust pedal engagement between the master and the slave, and the "feel" or resistance you feel depends on the components, so I wonder if this would still be relevant in my scenario.
Erik J At the very least it should make all your new parts last longer. I think it will still give better feel at the same time.
Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I imagine if the stock clutch pedal assemble does not snap like urs mine barely snaps and I could press it down with out it snapping woukd this make my pedal more stiff
Did you install the RJM pedal now?
I need to buy this pedal kit! I have an 05 G35 and have had the issue for over 2yrs now. Thanks for the vid.
eiji81 Your welcome! Ya this pedal assembly is a game changer for the car.
Just an update, I installed the RJM pedal last weekend. While the manual says about 1.5hrs of install time, it took way longer than that for me (like 3-4hrs) because the factory clutch pedal was hard to remove and the position is very uncomfortable to work on under the dash.
The RJM pedal, once fully adjusted is great. No more pedal getting stuck halfway. But I think I have a faulty clutch slave since the hot weather here in FL the clutch is hard to engage esp in stop-n-go traffic. I'm looking to replace the slave cylinder next and bleed the system.
eiji81 Nice! If you're replacing the slave also look into replacing the flex line with a stainless braided line with a heat shield.
Haha yeah I just installed mine as well, and it took like 4-5 hours for me. I’d say if you’ve done it before, you could do it in an hour, but no way the first time.
original nissan clutch can make experienced drivers look/feel like learners again...it's like a fucking on/off switch...this looks like the best zed mod to date! thanks for informative vid
sane person Ya I think it's important for the Z community to learn about. Please share the video with others.
AnthonyJ350 unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a right hand drive version available
sane person Oh the bolt pattern is different?
sane person I'd email Ryan just to confirm
AnthonyJ350 website says the rhd version is coming soon
This looks like the answer ive been looking for haha. Can you adjust it for a lower engagement point like on normal cars?
You should be able to. I'll be honest I haven't fully played with the adjustments yet. You should really e-mail Ryan, he's super helpful and can answer all your questions. I sure had a bunch before I bought the product. Ryan@RJMPerformance.com
Tell him you saw this video ;)
AnthonyJ350 okay will do, thanks! Keep us updated on the feel on the pedal as you drive it more!
I will. I'm going to do a video later on of my top "Driver Feel Mods" going over everything I put in the car for driving interaction. Nothing that makes the car faster, just makes it feel better.
AnthonyJ350 okay awesome. The only think i hate about the Z is the clutch pedal, im new at it but its hard to be consistant. If this solves the problem and with practice, it would be a perfect car for me
Your install of the Rjm is the best I have seen so far..😎
Thank you! Ryan liked it so much, he posted the video on his web site 😀
Good class today Z Teacher, this is so ironic because "87 Son of a Z clutch cylinder wore out at the 60K mile.
Mark-Anthony Hodges You gonna do this pedal on your car? You have a 370Z right?
Soon, Z Teacher soon. I will keep you posted.
Mark-Anthony Hodges Awesome. Ya they make a pedal for the 370Z as well.
Help!! I can feel my clutch engagement start at 1/4 of my foot to the floor. Randomly recently my transmission is locking me out of all gears when i turn it on and grinding if i force it. at first i could mess with it and it would go into gear but now it will not, ive never had a single synchro grind when shifting accept for when i forced it when this problem started. It started with reverse now its all gears. Any thoughts? I ordered a new master cyl and slave. I have a stage 3 clutch w 31k on it never has slipped on me. Could it be simple as adjustment? Or slave? Pedal doesnt stick to the floor but grab point doesnt feel stiff like before i swapped my cd009 trans in. Any help much appreciated 🙏🏼 also it goes into gear perfectly fine when car is off so trans isnt locked or internally shifted
Slave is probably worn out. Did you look under the car to see if it's still working? You'll need to get it on Jack stands.
Did you also order a stainless braided line that's heat shielded?
Hey Anthony nice video! Do you know if you have to adjust the WHOLE assembly when setting thr AFP to 0% for bleeding? Thanks!
It would be a good idea to, to make sure you have full action for the bleeding process.
Thanks for this amazing video. I will probably buy it after I figure out my clutch pedal problem. I just installed a new clutch and flywheel. It's a z1 motorsports Mild Performance Clutch Kit(6 puck). My the release point now is almost all the way up. It feels too high. How do I adjust that? I'm afraid that the clutch is not totally disengaged. I don't smell any clutch smell thou. Do you think after the 500miles break in the pedal will go down a bit?
You can adjust the factory pedal a little, was anyone in there changing the settings?
first off. love all your videos. definitely looking to get this since my pedal is experiencing the getting stuck to the floor either when it's really hot ( I live in texas) or hard driving. But on the website it gives an options for which upgrade clevis with the purchase. any recommendations? I have my stock master cylinder in as of now but will be upgrading to somethimg once I do a jwt clutch and flywheel as my bearing is going out. if u have any thoughts from rjm that would be great!
Richard Barclay I would order the HD clevis for the stock master and run that even after you change your clutch. If you still want more change the master afterwards.
AnthonyJ350 if I were to swap the master afterwards would it be necessary to change the clevi though?
Richard Barclay Yes there's a separate clevis for the aftermarket master.
just purchases the assembly and I'm stoked about getting it in and installing it!
any change after the install?
Getting this for our 2012 G37S. To the point on only depressing the pedal halfway on the stock set up, I've found the only way to drive this car smoothly with the stock setup is to set the seat far enough back so that you have to reach to fully depress the pedal. Then depressing it only halfway is normal movement. Car has 154k miles on it with original clutch/master/slave. Hoping this will bring improvement to the one gripe we've had on this car from the start!
I think this part will do the trick. Let us know what you think after.
Do you have to bleed the clutch fluid? I just had mine done 1700 miles ago
Nope just go ahead and install the assembly
I have been driving without cruise control for a few years now. It's good to see that the fourth revision has an adjustment for that now. I ended up massaging the HVAC plumbing to get the wiring and switch to fit in my G35.
Ya this is a really nice unit now.
Thanks for this vid bro! New sub!
Thanks for subscribing! Each one counts!
Do you have any play in the pedal? Meaning you can tap on it and it moves maybe 1/2" ?
Not really, there's a little play when the car is hot. Making me think I have to change out the slave.
hmm. I don't know... My clutch pedal drives like crap if I'm low on oil. even just a little bit (under a quarter of a quart). my brake pedal gets soft. My clutch engages higher up the release. but if I pump my brakes a couple times.. the pedal stiffen back up and the clutch works perfectly. barely release the clutch and it's off like a champ.
once full on oil again it's fine until I run a little low again.
robert mair That doesnt make sense. The hydraulic system is complete separate from the motor except for the brake booster which is just vacuum.
AnthonyJ350 right... but it is what's happening. I can't explain why. I just want someone else to try it cause it makes no sense to me either
fairly new clutch... master and slave cylinder there bearly any clutch pressure on cold start up the clutch is nearly stuck to the floor as the car warms up after driving around for 20 minutes there's finally pressure building up. the whole clutch engagement for g35/350 it makes me never want to drive stick again
dflet03 probably has air in the line. Did you try bleeding it again? What type of fluid did you put in?
dflet03 You need this pedal because the car is easy to drive and feels amazing after.
Just quick question.
Will this work with a CSC delete kit stalled?
I would think so since you're only affecting the pedal and not the hydraulic line itself. Message Ryan @rjmperformance on Instagram and tell him I sent you.
Right now I am having an issue I can’t figure out.. help? I bought a car with a new clutch. At the beginning. as I started letting out the petal from the floor, the clutch would grab hard. Didn’t have any issues other than a tick when I had the petal out and in N… When I’d press it in the noise went away.. the slave cylinder was bad so I replaced it and the master as well, bled them really well. And still had the tick and the petal would be slow to return all the way.. it would Pop back 60% of the way then slowly the rest of the way.. if you let your foot off the petal fast it basically comes up and then slaps the bottom of your foot.. now when I have clutch pressed in all the way I can’t get into 1st gear.. sometimes if i shift into 4th then try 1st it will work but it’s stiff.. once I get it into 1st gear I can come back to neutral and any other gear ( keep in mind car isn’t moving at all during all this. Just clutch in and manipulating the shifter.) but say i go back to neutral and let the clutch out all the way, then press it in again.. im back to square1 … can’t get into 1st gear.. stiff as a rock.. but I can sometimes get it into 4th and then 1st again after that.. any time I let the clutch out all the way in N I can’t get into 1st … side note when the cars not running I can go through all the gears .. clutch in and out doesn’t affect it.. only while running. Thanks for reading this ..
What happens if you let the clutch out half way? Will it go into gear? Maybe try bleeding it again.
@@AnthonyJ350 nope tried that too.. it’s something regarding my master and my clutch petals adjustment I believe..
@@Turtlefarm The factory pedal is adjustable
my clutch in my 350z is really hard to push down , as i’m seeing in your video yours is really easy to push down. is there something wrong with mine?
It could be aftermarket with stronger springs.
Same with mine but I have a exedy oem clutch pedal is hella hard can’t even depress it with my hand like you did
Hello. Where can i find this clutch pedal assembly? Definetely need this upgrade
Diego Rimonato You can get it directly from the RJM Performance web site. Just tell Ryan you saw this video.
I just purchased an 2006 g35 with an automatic transmission, and also managed to collect about 90% of the 6 speed manual conversion parts. I was wondering how did the owner of this G35 measure out the precise spots to cut out and drill the holes for the clutch master cylinder and clutch pedal bolts to mount into the chassis? Some automatic transmission vehicles have a stamped imprint outlining the holes for the studs and master cylinder reservoir for a potential clutch pedal install. Automatic G35's don't have stamped imprint so it's hard to pin point exactly where to drill in order to avoid installing the clutch pedal at an incorrect angle.
Grandma3stro I’m about to do this swap, any luck finding anything? Would really help
That I don't know
Are you running OEM master cylinder in this video ?
Yup still has the stock master cylinder.
Clarrifying; Nissan in general makes good parts and cars, vehicles always have bugs here and there and certain part that jst gave everyone headaches, but to say they cant make a hydraulic clutch assembly is an overstatement. If that were true then they suck at making engines as well cause the QR25DE is one thats been weak or known to give problems, doesnt mean now they suck overall at making engines. JS, cause im extremely bored.
Angelo Daniel Negron Ok fair statement. But a lot of G35 and 350Z owners do not like the feel of their clutch pedals and that pedal makes the hydraulic system prone to failure. I'm also a GM guy and most GM vehicles from the 90's have a nice firm brake pedal feel compared to these cars. It took me a while to figure out how to make my brake feel in my 350z as nice as my 2005 Silverado.
AnthonyJ350 that was my only argument at the General Statement which im sure you didn't make to be that jst came out that way. I have an '07 G35S 6MT Sedan, can you believe it that even these have a problem with the clutch system? They got wayyy better, but the Clutch Slave Cylinder still gives probs, I changed mine and found out it was the third part revision from Nissan. Hasnt given me problems so far and its been almost a year. I think with my model the Slave was the only problem, rest of it seems to be a okay with me and other owners with my model or engine (VQ35HR). Nice Vid btw.
Angelo Daniel Negron Do you have this pedal installed as well?
AnthonyJ350 no, everything is stock OEM, and the slave problem started abt 3 months of me having the car, did it once then stopped then did it again and I had the dead clutch pedal feel with no pressure or feed back on the clutch pedal, its always on the 07+ G's, I think anyone with an HR really, so Z's too, it starts like this, dies on you on the highway when you let off and place the car in neutral, if you go back to depressing clutch to engage in a gear its dead, lol . Btw, I think even my clutch is OEM. I got the car back in December of 2015 with 87K miles & the clutch was worn out, its at 125K I drove it a shit ton, I still do, lol, I have to change its not slipping thank God but its pretty wated to the point its almost non existent. Im gonna order a Stage 2 with a 13/14 lbs light weight flywheel, hence my earlier statement they really do make things that last at Nissan not jst all Toyota & Honda, haha. Like the Sparkplugs on these are rated to last to 90K miles, they really do last forever even though I'll still change'em earlier like at 40K or so.
Anthonyj350 Hello, was waiting on ur reply, lol, I enjoyed our condo cause it could give me some insight. BTW do you know if the HR's have the same pedal design? Cause if so I would then include this on the list and get it as well then prob not have to worry abt over working my slave and master. then if the slave takes a shit on me again I'll look into a Slave Cylinder Delete, saw one on Concept Z or Z1 online not sure if for HR or DE / RevUp
Would you say its that bad without it? Like if I dont expect to be doing this as soon as I get it do you still think id be able to drive it efficiently just by retraining my driving style?
Ya you can retrain yourself, it's weird when you do. This should be one of the first things you do to the car besides basic maintenance.
If you care about your transmission (mostly clutch pedal, clutch assembly, clutch and flywheel) do it. Don't wait like I did.
How about just installing a clutch pedal stop?
Nope, changing the geometry gives you the pedal feel and allows the whole hydraulic system to work easier. Look at the action difference when we compare the two.
Does it come with a spot for the cruise control switches?
Verify and email Ryan. From what I recall everything switches over. Or message him on Instagram.
Im getting a lot of squeaking and creaking from the clutch pedal mods. Any ideas what might be up?
march11stoneytony Did you try lubricating the pivot points?
I think so when it was installed a couple years ago. I'll try lubricating everything again though. Thanks
Been thinking of buying this from all the rage, but is it worth it if I can drive just fine with the oem one? My oem one is kinda stiff so I really don’t want to get something that is even stiffer.
Tuan Pham It's worth it. The amount of control you get it amazing.
It also doesn't make it more stiff.
AnthonyJ350 finally bought it and installed. The plugs are super easy to take off with a needle nose by just clamping them and pulling off. Wow you were right! My 1-2 shift is smooth as butter.
My pedal got stuck half way down and I had to push it back up because the spring inside the slave cylinder was broken...
That's unfortunate. Have you replaced it now?
@@AnthonyJ350 Yes, I actually did it last year. Works fine now.
@@wayneduford64 I think if you get the RJM pedal it will last longer.
@@AnthonyJ350 AI think you are right... will need to think about that one...
I love my RJM pedal. One of the many $40k mods i did.
Does anyone have this on an alitma coupe 6mt?
I would contact RJM Performance
Curious if you remember the amount of turns the new clevis went on? My old one came off about 4 1/2 turns, and that’s how much I put the new one on, but it just doesn’t seem right because there is so much thread left. And also now it seems to be having a hard time getting into gears. And it’s grinding in reverse. It didn’t have any of those problems before I replaced it.
Adrien Bowden Did you use the nut as a reference point? Sounds like your settings it's not pushing the master enough.
No I didn’t use the nut as a reference. I just counted how many turns the old oem clevis came off by and that’s how many I put the new one on by. And now I noticed if I try to shift into gear at a high RPM it literally won’t go into gear. I’m going to bled my clutch fluid tomorrow and if that doesn’t work I’ll adjust the clevis more so it pushes in the slave more
Is there any possible way you can send me a picture of your adjustments and the positioning of your clevis so I have a reference? Would be much appreciated
Adrien Bowden Ya I mentioned using the nut as a reference in the video to help gauge where things should line up. You'll have to make an adjustment to get proper travel.
I clicked on the link but couldn’t find the product, where can I find it today
James Barrett Did it take you to the RJM Performance website?
AnthonyJ350 i figured it out, thanks
can you put this on a right hand drive fairlady?
Awakeflameproductions They have some right hand drive units coming out. I would email Ryan on his web site to inquire.
what website did you buy your clutch pedal at?
Josue Lopez rjmperformance.com
The "release point" on these is high.
A simple fix it to go to Home Depot. Buy adjustable nuts/feet for desk's's
Adjust to your desired release point. However keep in mind that hydraulic liquid does expand and due to the high lift point...
That's a quick fix but does not really give you any better feel or really help correct the over extension of the slave.
@@AnthonyJ350 What I also did for feel on my Z was to remove the "helper" spring
how do you adjust the stiffness?
Technically you're adjusting how much throw it has. Do you have the instruction manual?
@@AnthonyJ350 i figured it out, thanks!
Does it feel softer or still stiff
@@chasef6275 a little too soft for my liking
@@ItsShibui well mine is hella stiff you try to push it down sith your hand and you can’t at all so hopefully this unit or a new clutch pedal assembly will fizit
Does this work for an 07 g35 coupe? Great video btw 👌🏼
Evan Mavros Thanks! And yes your vehicle should be listed on their website.
AnthonyJ350 thanks man ! I will get this ASAP
Evan Mavros Comment back when you install it and let us know what you think!
Is this for 350z HR too .
Yup it'll work
Hey I'm considering buying this.. you should do a video review of how it is while driving around!
BrokenStatues7 Definitely will once I drive around with it more. But I'll tell you now it's worth every penny. The car is so much more satisfying to drive.
Here's the review video you've been waiting for ruclips.net/video/2p3tOCJBIlM/видео.html
You've convinced me to buy it! Do you think the HD clevis ends upgrade is worth it as well?
BrokenStatues7 HD clevis is totally worth it. It's only like $20 isn't it?
AnthonyJ350 it's actually only $15. I ordered it I'll update you in a couple weeks how I like it. I appreciate the video and replies!
I have absolutely no issue with the clutch on my 350z. And it didn't feel weird on my test drive. We drive stick standard in the UK 🇬🇧 so maybe that's it. Good vid 👍🏻
You should really look into RJM, they just came out with a RHD version
Your stock clutch pedal has no modulation. So this one just feels better.
My clutch has plenty of feel and modulation with no problems. Maybe the other one 'feels' better but I don't have to fix something that's not broken. Anyway, Top content 👍🏻 mate,
@@barryhall7 It actually is a broken design, you're over extending your master and slave and wearing them out more than needs to. Also thousands of people have clutch pedals that stick to the floor because of this.
@@barryhall7 It's fine for you not to see value in this. But the video clearly demonstrates the short comings of the stock pedal that are hard to dispute.
was it worth it? i just bought one but im not fully convinced
Noe Rodriguez Did you install it?
+AnthonyJ350 i just ordered it yesterday
Noe Rodriguez When you install it and realize how good the pedal can actually feel you'll be convinced.
+AnthonyJ350 is there an email i can ask you some questions
Noe Rodriguez info@gofasthavefun.ca I'm on vacation for another week so I'll reply when I'm back.
Is that why third gear grinds a little
It's most likely a bad synchro. What year is your car?
AnthonyJ350 it’s a 2003
@@jonathancisneros7150 It's most likely the transmission. You want to find a transmission from a 2005.5 or 2006 CD009 has all the latest improvements to stop those issues. Also try using REdline transmission fluid for Nissan in your current transmission.
AnthonyJ350 yea I was thinking of doing that cuz the input shaft bearing is also kind of noisy.
Wrong trans fluid will also do this. Got to make sure it's gl4 manual trans fluid and not rear axle fluid.
am i first?
Yes you are!
sweet!
Hey guys. Im looking for this clutch kit. Where can i find it ?
Just install a paddle stop bam simple.
SI RICKO You don't get any more modulation and you rely on the hydraulic system to push back the pedal or still have the half pedal and no adjustability
I guess but just install A paddle stop and adjust the seat lol bam simple im just fucking with you but i know what you mean good idea to.
More car electric videos please! I enjoy all your vids, but I don't own a 350. I use your electrics/car audio videos to fix my tampered car, since the electricians in my country are horrific!
Also, I love how informative they are and appreciate all your effort :D
Avo Kupelian Thanks for your feedback. We'll be getting back to the electronic content soon.
What country do you live in?
Lebanon. The country doesn't know anything about anything. I pay someone to do the heavy work, and then I research and redo it the correct way, whether it's electrics, audio, interior, maintenance or mechanics.
Hey I know this is an old video but I really need help on my clutch. I have a 2005 350Z and I only enjoy driving my car in the morning when it’s cold because of my clutch. When it gets warm after maybe 20 minutes of driving my clutch gets about 4 inches of “free play” basically no pressure or anything for 4 inches and right when you get pressure the engagement point is right there and it’s a horror story driving like that. If you know what I should do or try please please anyone help Thankyou.
Try installing a new slave cylinder and also change the flex line to a stainless braided version with heat shielding.
AnthonyJ350 Okay I just spent the $350 on the RJM rev 4 pedal. Should I still do that?
@@NalIu Yes for sure, the pedal is amazing. Upgrading the hydraulics outside of the car is important due to the design of the car and age.
AnthonyJ350 Alright thanks for the help man
@@NalIu No problem. Comment back after you install the pedal assembly, love to hear what you think!
You always have 25 mm of play that’s about 1”.
I feel as if you truly lack information/education on the actual function of the unit, what the design and intent.
Why do you use dot 3,4,5, other? There’s a technical reason why.
Bottom line put a disclaimer that you’re just a blogger and lack.
Brakes/clutch (hydraulic systems) are touchy because you can ultimately risk someone else’s life.
O_o X_x There is a disclaimer, at the very beginning of the video.
The engineer that designed this pedal seems to like my video as well ;)
Thanks for the feedback!
O_o X_x I'm curious to know though, how is talking about a clutch pedal going to affect someone's life?
Besides making it more awesome because this thing feels amazing.
O_o X_x So condescending.
Or just get an automatic
But the people who are clicking on this video are looking to improve their "sports car feel". People that want a "cruiser" probably aren't watching this video.
hell nah wtf
If you don't know how to drive lol
