RJM V2 vs RJM V3?

JesseG805 · 09-12-2016, 02:57 PM

Does anyone know the differences between the two?
Im debating on buying a v2 used or a v3 brand new.

Less install steps on v3...more pre assembled.

I've had both. Both are quality products. Each required a few hours to install ... in a cramped space ... so be prepared. The V3 is partially pre-assembled so it offers some advantages. Definitely order the HD clevis if you decide to go with the V3. The only disadvantage of the V3 over the V2 IMO is that the AFP adjustment on the V2 is very simple ... you can just dial it in after loosening one allen bolt; whereas, for the V3, you need to loosen 2 allen bolts and then align the markings on the bracket. It's just a bit fussier with the V3. Ryan at RJM offers great service and advice regardless of which version you choose.

I am interested in this set up as well, but I am not sure exactly how it would solve the issues of the oem clutch system.

My main issue with the OEM clutch is that it doesn't have any modulation with the clutch engagement. It is difficult to "slip" the clutch especially when the car is on a steep incline. I suspect it has more to do with the hydraulic system (CMC & CSC) than the pedal itself.

So with this RJM setup, the feel will be different and there is more engagement point adjustments where most people adjust it to have a lower engagement point. However, I believe that would potentially make the gear change more notchy/grind because by lowering the engagement point, it also reduces the separation of the clutch disc and the flywheel. So there may still be a 'drag' with the clutch pedal fully depressed.

Your comments will be appreciated.

I'd recommend shooting an e-mail to Ryan at RJM Performance. He can explain the advantages of the RJM pedal assembly over the OEM assembly. There are a number of members who have installed the RJM assembly and have been very pleased with it.
