anyone knows anything about the clutch pedal shaft?

janfar · Posted: Fri Aug 28, 2009 7:22 pm Post subject:

Is that not the shaft that goes from the clutch pedal to the clutch MS???

janfar,im not sure but my mechanic now take a look at my setup and he told me its the shaft thats too short. its not the original MC i have. is this why my shaft is too short? my mechanic told me that i dont need a new MC but he can just lengthen the shaft and it should solve the prob.

does that sound right?

also, iknow i open myself to alot of jokes with all this shaft talk eh Laughing

Lol, some one told me the same thing, up on evo321, i saw that suggestion fly about a couple times. I will be out for the next month so experimentation done for the while till i get back. It has been suggested to be before and most people say it works.

so another tuner told me that this "shaft" is the shaft on the master cylinder.

so this is a pic of the MC:

the shaft with the U shape thing at the end, is that the shaft that is connected to the pedal that they speak of? never got the chance to check this out and i dont wanan go messin around down there if i dunno what im doing Laughing

ok so i got the master cylinder from fireman. carried it to show my mechanic and he said that since my current cylinder is bigger it would be better since i have a copper clutch/HD PP. all he has to do is mod the U thing at the end of the shaft to get the correct length.

now im not one to do this kinda custom work, i rather get original stuff.

so what u guys think is best? mod my current cyl or install the evo 1 master cyl that i got. just remember my clutch setup.

yea w2j, i know, i gotta change the copper Laughing

in time.

I wanted to start a whole other thread for the question but i will apply it to the early evos 1-3 and well 4-6 my question is

In recent posts i am seeing some boosted nissan engines RB-20/25 car is not important but the owner/s claims that its even tuned to run on SUPER Unleaded fuel

What are the pros/cons to doing this type of tuning and can it be applied to these versions of the evo, some may say that they will not chance it and if you have the money to buy and upgrade these machines you would most definitely have the cash to put the correct gas, But am asking from a tuning POV, daily driving and longer term etc

Hope this wasnt explained before Shocked

ok, not to cut anything but i got a lil prob tonight. oil light keeps flickering on and off ever so often, sometimes wont come on for a good half hour well. oil level is great.

^ that could be an oil pressure issue, have it checked as soon as possible it cost me an engine, my mechanic and I taught it was a faulty sensor as the car was driving great and oil level was fine but after changing the sensor it came back on about 30-40 mins later, when we took down the engine the only thing that could be done was to replace it.

can this have anything to do with the sump pan being damaged? i have a prob with my exhaust hitting the sump pan sometimes, after some time it has a dent on the pan, didnt think it would do any harm other than missshape it.
