Is Installing a FULLY Adjustable Clutch Pedal Assembly Worth it?

[@milanmastracci]

Yes I've been somewhat away for a bit. I've been really busy trying to see if I can get someone to help me edit the videos, so I can have more content for you guys. I want to get the Mini up and going so if I can spend more time in the garage instead of on the computer, I feel that will be beneficial. Thank you for being patient!!

[@milanmastracci]

Fixed

[@thetraindriver01]

100 percent agree Milan 👍👍👍

[@thomascanning595]

If you want to send some demo clips I can make a quick edit to see if you like it!

[@bh5697]

Which version RJM kit do you have? Sorry if i missed it in the video

[@akeelmukhtar1808]

Plz Tell u can get for any car in the UK rhd ??

[@bh5697]

You’ve helped me with so many installs already. Thank you! Keep the Z vids going

[@mrraps101]

Please! Make a thorough video on adjusting the AFP, pedal position, and pedal arm!

[@BrokenStatues7]

One of the first modifications I did on my 07 350z. Absolutely essential if you care about clutch feel.

[@machineslave3]

This was what I was wondering. I owned an ND Miata and now a Mazda 3 and their clutches have the perfect amount of feel and clutches engage linearly. I really like the Z but all the discussion about poor clutch feel turned me off for a while.

[@BrokenStatues7]

Gregory G the RJM clutch pedal assembly fixed it for me. Feels like a normal linear clutch and you can adjust the clutch pedal height/engagement. The regular “snapping” assembly is trash in my opinion.

[@Tony-wd5xp]

I did this to my 350z awhile back. The old setup in the Z cars operate like a mouse trap which acts like an on or off engagement. The RJM acts like a proper pedal allowing for adjustable modulation. Great mod

[@YourOldDog]

Thanks for the vid, I just ordered one out. Can't wait to get it in. I hope RJM takes care of you, your clear and simple video is the reason I ordered it. EDITED: I got the kit and had a teenager install it for me, took about an hour AND THE RESULTS GAVE ME THE CAR I WANTED ! It is simply amazing what it did for the feel of my car. Thank you very much for your video, until now I was ready to trade of my 350z roadster and that would have been a huge mistake. I can't believe this video only has 4000 views?

[@lamontgarrison4814]

YourOldDog where’s that teenager lol

[@YourOldDog]

THANK YOU! I hated my spongy clutch with over-travel. I ordered the RJM for my 350Z Roadster, hired a skinny 19 year old with mechanical aptitude but not a mechanic to put it in for me. 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.

[@marjp9087]

Thank you so much Milan for the awesome instructional video. I got mine installed today on my 2017 370Z Nismo what a differenced. Greetings from Illinois.

[@vwcorradojetta]

I installed my setup just over a month ago. Loving every minute of it. Hardest part was removing that blue bumpstop from the oem unit! :-D

[@nikeshnabee3142]

It's being a while but always good to watch your stuff

[@AnthonyJ350]

One of the best MODS you can do for a Z33 or Z34. Great video!

[@milanmastracci]

Couldn't agree more!

[@SVTBansheeman]

Damn this is a good video. When I do stuff under the dash of my vehicles I can't even see much less get perfect video footage. Well done sir.

[@kareem7051]

Wow. I never even THOUGHT of this. It must be nice. Definitely getting one of these.

[@thetraindriver01]

Great vid Milan, thanks for the share, I hope the clutch feel is much better now 👍👍👍👍👍

[@joeywilliams9406]

Please make more videos! Your like one of my favorite KZbin’s!

[@Smoove7192937]

Where’s the mini!! I wanna see that big turbo

[@cybermind4158]

I’m happy you like it. But you need to tell everyone that once they do this, their warranty is toast if it involves anything remotely pertaining to the transmission. I’ve been thinking about it but for now, I will stick with the stock pedal assembly at least until my warranty period is over. Secondly, I really thought that for the price, the JRM pedal assembly would be a higher quality piece with mostly billet machined components. It doesn’t look like it.

[@Tony-wd5xp]

It won't mess with your warranty. This type of mod if not properly installed will damage your slave and clutch (over extending slave, not fully disengaging causing wear to clutch or grinding gears). That is a problem you will notice during the "tuning" process as per the instructions. If you are concerned about the mod causing warranty issues then swap the stock one in. Easy.

[@filipjukic1712]

That smile on end ofthe video.

[@Tain950]

I saw someone selling this clutch kit for just 100 bucks. I honestly regret not buying it I’ve heard nothing but good things about them. I’ll probably end up buying it new.

[@hotsaucebone]

Which way u should adjust the clutch pedal in order to make the clutch engagement point closer to the floor? Please advise. I installed my and leave it as how it came in, and the engagement point is actually higher than the stock one

[@7eamGhast]

I have this and haven't installed it and now I'm motivated to do it, awesome. Question, did this fix the 1st to 2nd gear change? You know the lag in talking about?

[@milanmastracci]

Yes! It is terrific!!! You really won't be disappointed with it :) It doesn't feel so clunky

[@nikkrajewski4447]

Try double clutching 1st to 2nd in until your install. Even with the extra work during the shift 2nd will engage much smoother and provide a more linear rate of acceleration

[@7eamGhast]

Nik Krajewski good looking out bro!

[@ZachAtaxx]

So what if the Jam nut is like stuck/molded to the Clevis fork? I can’t break it loose unless I apply force while holding the rod with a pair of pliers, and is it okay if the rod itself moves? There’s no other way for me to get it off unless I use pliers and a wrench, but even with that the whole rod spins instead of the fork.

[@bananaroyal43]

If installing the heavy duty clevis u must break loose the lock nut behind the old clevis before removing the clip and pin. I Missed that part in the written instructions and ended up in the same boat as you and used some wd40 and 2 wrenches to loosen it after. Lol

[@rickqueen65]

Nice detailed vid. Subscribed.

[@Xxbloodysniper]

I have a problem I can’t seem to move the unit up or down even after unscrewing the 2 top bolts . Trying to make it align and go straight to the master slave. Anyone that can help thanks. 🙏

[@RYoung1911]

Having same issue

[@FullSendX]

Hey man just installed my RJM clutch pedal and now I'm having an issue where the clutch isn't fully disengaging and I'm unable to shift into any gears. Does the pedal have to be adjusted specifically to get the clutch to work? I'm also running it with a lightweight flywheel and stage 3 clutch

[@DJDirtyFunk]

Im not the most mechanically inclined but damn this was a pretty hard diy but it’s so worth it

[@Kawtree]

ok how tf did you get the clevis off, it feels nearly welded and doesn't come off easy at all. I can't use the new HD Clevis because this stupid thing is so hard to get off.

[@TheBossskinhead]

I need one of these for my 1988 Sunny

[@eseweasel10]

did you have to buy the cmc that goes with that pedal ive read multiple answers some say it only works with the cmc they sell, others say you can just install the pedal

[@anvrchxst4199]

Lock nut is killing me and I can’t get the clevis fork off, any tips ?

[@anvrchxst4199]

I feel like I’m going to break the whole slave cylinder trying to break the lock nut, I’m using a wrench and I feel like I’m turn the whole rod while trying. I have the clevis fork still attached so that’s keeping it from turning but I feel like it’s not enough

[@EduardoPerez-jf2ik]

Hey what are the zize of the nylon spacers my kot didn't come with them

[@Blkrov]

When you took the clevis fork off, why didn’t you show how you got it off? Mines super difficult to get off

[@abunaiz34nismo68]

You should break the 12mm nut holding the Clevis fork before disconnecting the pin holding the pedal

[@dualmasterh9110]

Cause its a really important step so why would he include it in an installation video

[@aeromastersargentina6579]

Hey man you didnt put Thread Locker in the nuts

[@gedas3419]

When I saw some of previous videos you have done about that spring helper i did not get it abit. When you removed it the pedal box and showed us what this spring does about that snap, I thought WTF. Is nissan only one who uses this BS?

[@lthom286]

Just ordered my pedal

[@2NDblunt]

I'm thinking of doing this change but also wondering is it worth grabbing the master cylinder kit as well ? like is there any added benfits from changing out everything or should the clutch assemble be good it enough itself any feedback is appreciated.

[@eduardosandoval3514]

Nice vídeo, but where is the S14?

Any updates on the mini?

[@ThousandBlade]

I really wish there's such a product for vw/audi. the clutch on them is terrible. Travel is long AF and it sits like 2 inchs above other pedals.

How was it? Considering installing my v3 pedal today.

[@HirschPower]

I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from buying this thing. I had one or two weeks where it felt amazing, but the last four months has been absolutely awful. The guy who owns RJM has had exceptional customer service while trying to help me fix the issues I’m having, but I just can’t seem to get it right.

[@2NDblunt]

Hello! Is it worth getting the master cylinder replacement kit as well ? or would you just recommend getting the assembly. I notice that the ultimate package is always sold out because the master cylinder kit is always sold out so wondering if its waiting for them to restock, or just order the clutch assembly on its own.

[@Xxbloodysniper]

What did you end up doing I’m not sure if I should get the package or not?

[@PR1NCETD0T]

The thing i hate about the stock pedal assembly is that its very stiff at the top until about 60-70% pushed in and then for the last 30-40% its really soft and you literally feel nothing until its resting on the floor. The thing is, the stock clutch bites right before the “soft” numbness feeling ends and a hair off and you’ll jerk the car lol. Been driving my Z for about a year and its parked for the winter now but i really hate the pedal feel. (Im used to it now, and i know where it bites without thinking but its really unforgiving)

[@Solekz]

Best instructional video on the RJM pedal by far. I just recently got mine. Xmas gift from my wife 🙂. Haven't installed it yet. I do have a question. Does this make shifting on the 370z a lot smoother?

[@milanmastracci]

Yes! By a long shot! This is by far one of the best 'feeling' upgrades for the 370Z. If you install this, and then jump into a 370Z with the stock clutch pedal, you won't believe that Nissan thought that was acceptable.

[@Solekz]

@@milanmastracci Nice! Feeling hyped and excited about installing it now. Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it. Have a great one and stay safe!

I love the stock clutch pedal assembly. i think i am in the minority though.
