Review: RJM AFP Clutch Pedal System

redondoaveb · 06-21-2017, 08:21 PM

OK, I just got my car back with the new pedal assembly and it truly made a night and day difference. Launches are easy and smooth. First to second gear shifts are as smooth as butter. It really made the car so much more enjoyable to drive. Thank you Ryan for seeing a problem that needed attention and making a quality product that fills this need.

Purchased one back in 2015 and absolutely love it. question to you RJM has their been updates or revisions since then? I wish I could lower my engagement point closer to the floor like I've been used to in other cars. Thanks for the great product

McLovin2010, yes there was a major update to Rev3 in winter of 2016 that saw many updates in both how the units are installed (much easier then Rev1/Rev2) and had new adjustment mechanisms keeping with the theme of seriously reducing install time. Thru all of that many who upgraded from Rev2 to Rev3 have told me they didn't initially believe I could have improved further over their older models but I had. With the Rev3 system you can get your engagement right on the floor no matter what clutch setup you're running. When paired with a Gen2 HD CMC it gives you even more setup flexibility as the Clutch rod on the Gen2 units gives you 4x the adjustment range of the oem master cylinders.
Hope that helps

Does that lessen the amount of disengagement on the clutch and cause it to drag/notchiness?

That sounds magnificent!!!! exactly what I've been wanting out of the clutch. props for continually advancing your already amazing clutch pedal. I will be in contact with you when im ready to switch out the v1. Do i have to do a whole new purchase or is there a way to just update the one i have? or do you do any discount for previous owners?

McLovin2010, thanks for the props. As both designer & fabricator of these I'm always taking feedback from customers and striving to improve the adjustability while working to reduce the complexity of install/install time. While the Rev1/2/3 all look very similar the current Rev3 is a complete redesign and doesn't share a single component in common with the earlier units so a complete replacement would be needed. Shoot me an email when you're ready and I'd be happy to work something out as a returning customer.
Best Regards

Just completed an install of the RJM HD Clutch Master Cylinder (CMC) along with a re-install of the RJM Ver 3 Clutch Pedal Assembly. Great products ... and always great service from Ryan. He even provided instructions over his personal cell phone when travelling back from a visit to Niagara Falls with his family! Can't beat his products or his service. Thanks Ryan!

Nis350, it's completely adjustable for each individual's preference and clutch type. When properly adjusted the engagement can be lowered significantly towards the floor while still ensuring complete clutch disengagement. In fact part of the adjustment process is specifically testing to ensure full disengagement before finalizing the settings to ensure no drag or notchy shifting from engagement being too low.
