Part of the joy of driving a manual transmission car is the ability to control the engagement and release of the clutch system. However, with the onset of self-adjusting pressure plates (late model BMWs), it still becomes difficult to "feel" the engagement precisely, as BMW creates vehicles that are more and more luxurious to drive. The purpose of a clutch stop is to limit the travel of the clutch arm, so that it can be adjusted to a user's desired preference. This can allow for quicker, more precise clutch engagement, especially during spirited driving. The factory does provide a small, plastic clutch stop, located in on the firewall of the foot well, but it's too short to render much adjustment. An Easy Solution By replacing the stock clutch stop with an adjustable, larger stop, the user can then specify the travel of the clutch arm. The Rogue Engineering clutch stop is approximately twice the size of the factory clutch stop, so that it will not allow for vehicles with plastic clutch pedal arms to flex and bypass the stop. The Rogue Engineering clutch stop is made entirely of 303 stainless steel, except for the neoprene rubber face, which prevents slippage or noise to be transmitted during use.
Currently, the clutch stop fit the following vehicles:
*Late model vehicles have a dual position, solid state clutch switch which requires the clutch pedal to be depressed nearly completely to the floor in order to start the vehicle. For these vehicles, the clutch stop cannot be adjusted to the limits of the clutch pedal engagement unless the clutch switch is modified. Modifications to the clutch switch are required to allow for both vehicle start and cruise control functions to be retained.
