Heavy Clutch Pedal


Jellybean

Recommended Posts

I have a Carbonetic Clutch either Twin or triple, my pedal is 60 - 70% heavier than stock. My friend has a Carbonetic triple in R33 and it feels near OEM pedal about 10% heavier than stock.

 

He has an uprated Clutch line. But also talking in general to Paul Whiffin and other people who run them; the clutch pedal on the car does seem to tie in similar with the R33.

 

My car has the clutch in it since I got it and always was this heavy so I taught it was normal but I am having serious doubths, and to be honest the heavy clutch kills the enjoyment of the car.

 

Other than taking the unit apart , anything I can check, fluid levels etc

Nissan put a servo on the clutch master cylinder as standard on all GTR models, so a GTR with the same clutch as a MKIV Supra will always have a much lighter pedal. If you REALLY wanted you could put a servo on a MKIV clutch.

 

thanks Chris

 

What about this ?

A bigger MC will make the pedal heavier still, but give more clutch release bearing movement, which your clutch may *OR MAY NOT* need. You need to know exactly what you are doing here!!

 

I just made an adaptor plate for my Skyline to take an AP master cylinder, of which there is a big range of bore sizes, as I wanted more travel at the release bearing for a full pedal stroke. Race clutches are heavy, a concentric clutch release bearing assembly may help, if it's a push type clutch but will need bespoke fabrication to fit one in the bellhousing. A servo would definitely help, you could have a VERY light pedal then.
