Do you have to modify the pedal as well?

Are you asking cos they are shit to change gear due to clutch drag??


Press the pedal to the floor, get a mate to wedge a bar behind the clutch arm, bring your foot off the pedal a couple of clicks and try that... repeat with a couple more clicks if needed

That or if you havent got a adjuster pedal,

remove the cable from the release arm, and space the cable from the gearbox with washers.

If u have broms cable the original clutch pedal isnt strong enough, so u will need another pedal box, and take the brake pedal out and fitt where ur clutch pedal is, the brake pedal is a lot stronger, u will need to do a bit of modification to get it to fit

The 3dr quadrant is diff to the saph... one of them has more leverage. one is white and one is yellow (not sure which is which though)... maybe this might help?

Either that or... manually adjust the ratchet a few clicks to the best position for you, then drill a small hole in the rachet and another in the paul(spelling) and feed a small cable tie through to stop it jumping off when you do the animal like gear changes.. lol

The probelm i had on my Fiecos,

was the clutch was to heavy for the Std quadrant (i made it so it was manually adjusted, as i've broke a few quadrants. (once at the pod, and once @ brands on a trackday)


So i made my own quadrante from alloy, and even changed the design, to help the clutch out, and since its been fine.
