Review: RJM AFP Clutch Pedal System

modme

Just installed my new RJM clutch pedal and I wanted to do a review.

DISCLAIMER: I have no affiliation or connection with the company other than nagging them to to make the product for the 370z/G37.

Ever since I found out about this clutch pedal system on the 350z/g35 forum, I got into contact with Ryan at RJM Performance and asked him to make one for us. After 6 months of development, I finally received the prototype for testing. I paid for the pedal, so i dont want anyone thinking that I'm obligated to give a positive review.


So the problem with the stock clutch is the high and narrow engagement point. The high engagement can be alleviated by adjusting the clutch rod, however, the engagement window cannot be changed. This the where the RJM pedal shines. Using an easily accessible turn knob, you can change the pivot point of the pedal. This basically in turn causes the engagement window to increase or decrease.


Installation is fairly straight forward. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.


After the installation, adjustments to the clutch pedal feel can be adjusted with the turn knob. The best part about this pedal is being able to make adjustments while driving. You can fine tune the pedal feel as youre driving. Once you find the sweet spot, then you can lock down the setting.

Turning to the left raises the pedal and increases the engagement window. It also softens the pedal pressure. Turning to the right lowers the pedal and shortens the engagement window. Using this AFP knob, you can basically change any clutch to soft and smooth cruising mode or stiff and grabby racing mode.

As you can tell from my signature, I have the OS Giken multiplate clutch system. They are notorious for difficult to drive on the street. There is no engagement window, it is either ON or Off. After installing the new pedal, there is a night and day difference. I use to have to start at 1800 rpm from a stop to avoid stalling. Now I can start in first gear with no gas applied. The engagement window is longer and I can modulate the pedal to make every gear shift smooth. The 1st and 2nd gear used to be jerky but is completely smooth now.

I highly recommend this pedal to every 6mt driver. If you have an aftermarket clutch, this is a must. If you have trouble driving with a stock clutch, this will improve your shifts.
