Review: RJM AFP Clutch Pedal System

jdsto · 04-18-2015, 07:27 AM

I've had my pedal on for a week now and absolutely love it. I've been stuck in some brutal traffic and it is just easier to drive the car now. You don't need to rev as much meaning you can get the car into first and still be at a slower speed. I've let a few friends drive since the install and they are shifting smoothly immediately compared to before when they would be quite rough. Our stock pedal feel takes a while to get use to. And as advertised 1st 2nd shifts are much smoother whether under WOT or just cruising around. To me the pedal is everything that it was advertised.

Installation was simple but a pita or should I say back due to having to work under the dash. I'm definately not 25 anymore.

If you are not doing much in the way of mods to your car I would say this could be the single best mod to make. The pedal just makes the car more enjoyable to drive.

My back yelled at me for a couple days after install but was worth it.

What setting did you guys go with? I've had my petal in a box since last year and just haven't had it installed yet. Looking at the end of the month probably.

Um ... yup ... We are in the same boat. You must be on the starboard side while I am on the port.

I pressed the buy button today. I look forward to it but it'll have to wait until after next week because of Zbash and Autocon this coming weekend.

Bendy flash light
Take seat off
Stretch back
What else?

If you are pulling the seat, you will be golden.

I've set mine at the recommended starting point in the instructions. I haven't messed with it since then but I am happy with the feel.

Anyone who got this Mod in SoCal, where did you get it installed? How much?

OTL · 07-09-2015, 08:38 AM

I just wanted to ask some questions regarding the settings of RJM. On the instruction, it says the initial setting at 70%. Do I adjust the setting from 70%? As in turning left or right from the initial setting being at 70%?
also, how far does the clutch rod have to be sticking inside the fork? Thank you!

Just pushed the buy button. Can't wait!

I turned the dial all the way to the left and made a reference mark using a silver sharpie. Then I turned it all the way to the right to find the maximum, counting the number of turns. I found the 70% setting using those as reference points.

The fork that connects to the master cylinder rod is meant to be adjustable (pretty much the only adjustment you can make to the OEM pedal). I can't remember exactly, but I believe there is some guidance in the instructions. When I installed mine, I just made note of where the OEM pedal fork was and tried to make it about the same to start. Maybe someone else has some insight that is more helpful.

I was just gonna order it then I realized I ran out of fund for mods. I'll have to wait a couple months till my birthday and then definitely buy.
This has been a very helpful thread.

I just bought mine

I've been driving without the helper spring because I like the linear feel of the pedal. Excited to feel the difference after I will install it!
