Even
though I reworked the clutch pedal in another post, I still wasn’t happy with
it. Even with nice Delrin bushings and
carefully-lubed points, it still squeaked.
And felt “funny”. I had forgotten
that on my S54, when I did it’s pedal ~14 years ago, I deleted the
overly-complex M over-center spring and replaced it with a non-M simple
extension spring. I should have done
this right the first time. Anyway, I
took the pedal back out, added 2 grommets and the extension spring, and
buttoned everything back up. Now the 2
cars have the same clutch pedal feel.
Now there is no squeaking. Now
the clutch pedal doesn’t rest in a somewhat canted position. Much better.
I also screwed the UUC big boy clutch stop that came with the car all
the way in. Now the car goes into first
gear much smoother, although I have to push the pedal down another 1/8 inch.
