Clutch stopper on a 335?

psychik · 03-29-2008, 05:13 PM

I currently got an e46 330I (5sp) with a few mods, including a clutch stopper. For those who don't know - it's a piece of rubber that prevents the clutch pedal traveling all the way down to the floor, hence, it shortens the distance it travels up before engaging. IMO, on a e46 it helps a lot, because the pedal travels unnecessarily deep and I'm so used to it by now.
My e90 sedan is on order for an ED pickup in 2 weeks and I wanted to know if any former e46 manual owners have experience with a clutch stopper and is anyone using it on a e90/92?

Comments appreciated!

Thanks for the info. How is the pedal on a e90 though? Have they fixed the "problem"?

Im not really sure of the problem. I have a clutch stopper on my M3 but dont feel that the pedal travel is as far on the 335. It might have something to do with throttle by wire.

I test drove the E92 and it seems like if you sit in the proper position and anchor your heel, you will be able to press in the clutch with just a hinge movement from your ankle to press the clutch all the way down. One thing I have say about these clutches is that they are soft and feel way too good compared to my E36.
