But, got a couple questions, can you lower the clutch pick point and use the new spring as well? Or would doing just one work fine? What have you guys done out there? |

The spring is the best bet because that will control the feel and how much back pressure there will be against your foot! The adjustments as outlined by B&W invader can still be done when the clutch spring is switched to get the desired location and set point of a depressed clutch.

WHAT????? "open ended wrenches", "needle nose pliers", "Clevis'ssss", "lock nuts". I can't imagine doing any kind of work like this on my precious Z. I guess I'm just "old school" but if you have to change anything mechanical to this degree on a new Z, why bother buying it in the first place. You're making changes on an already awesome car where it won't even feel like a Z anymore. No car is perfect but the Z comes as close to perfect as possible IMO. Ever hear of something having "character"? The Z's got it...and then some! I wouldn't think of putting anything but a sponge and microfiber towel to my Z.

a quick tip from me.... place flashlight in your left hand pointing backwards so that it looks like you have a knife in your hand ready to make a kill. then push down and hold the clutch pedal with your same left hand while holding the flash light in the same orientation. you will have good visibility of the clutch spring assy. then use your right hand to pull the e-clip out of the helper spring assy with your long nose pliers. walla. it's very easy to do. |
