Default Heavy clutch pedal



I've heard if you change out the stock clutch you can get lighter pedal presser with out losing clutch holding power.</P>


Anybody have any experience with this?</P>


Thanks</P>

Most of the good aftermarket clutches like centerforce for example offer better holding ability without harder peddle pressure, but I don't know about softer than stock.</P>

Only right after you put the clutch in does it get hard from a driving standpoint. But once broken in it may still be a little harder than stock but not much, depending on the heavydutyness of the clutch springs and material. Hope that answered it.

<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">Thanks guys. The reason I'm asking is my legs were broke in a motorcycle accident. My left ankle was crushed so pushing in a heavy clutch can be hard sometimes. The problem is I freaking love the Cobra and the 6 speed so I'm trying to figure out a way to lighten up the clutch pedal pressure without loosing the holding power. Thanks for the input.</SPAN>

You can make some minor adjustments to the clutch cable itself, and that might do the trick. Sorry to hear about the accident, but you probably dont want sympathy, you want to drive this awesome Cobra. I'd say ask your dealer, but when I put a new clutch in, the pedal stayed about the same, maybe a little harder.
