Default Clutch help!!!!
Just fitted my new helix clutch and mk6 pedal and I have two queries.

First: the pedal is sitting a little bit higher then the brake pedal, but the biting point is right in the carpet.

Second: does anyone else have a Helix organic "200Ft Lbs" clutch fitted, and how vicious is yours? I stalled the car about 5 times just trying to reverse off the driveway.

Did you refit the spring as in my post in this thread? https://passionford.com/forum/ford-e...pedal-mod.html
Will make the pedal sit a lot lower and then you can adjust it up a bit raising the biting point too

Did you get your pedal brand new? Ford quoted me Ł45 + VAT for pedal and quadrant today.

Ahh mine is pretty much the same deal (power ratings) but from helix. Except I got it for Ł200
Yeah it is a bit vicious, it does judder a little bit as well.

I got the pedal new off ebay (alexcabrio). Was about Ł40 posted. I would go for the alloy quadrant: http://extremesportsproducts.com/ind...d&productId=17 Because fitting a new pedal and quadrant is a very fiddly job and I would want to do it again any time soon. Its just not worth using a plastic one.

Alexcabrio just buys all his stuff from Ford and whacks on a premium so may as well go to Ford unless they don't have any of course then you have little choice.
Mine juddered for a few days till it bedded in, flywheel was skimmed of course too.

Yeah that's what I thought, unfortunately my local ford stockist didn't have any pedals so I had to bite the bullet.

Yeah I'll see how mine is after a few hundred miles.
