Has anyone seen a clutch stop for the new mustangs? Install photos? Thanks for the info.

Just a bump. I guess I will have to make something homemade. I have one on the BMW and it greatly reduced my shift times. I think every short shift kit should include one.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a clutch stop? I'm guessing it has to do with pedal travel?

 

Your right. It allows you to adjust the pedal travel so that the clutch only goes in far enough to disengage the clutch. It allows for more acurate pedal travel and quciker shifts.

Here is a link to the one I installed on my BMW:

Clutch Stop

With all the performance and 1/4 mile talk I'm suprised no one is using one.

Would you not have to remove it every time you start the car?

If i'm not mistaken the clutch has to be fully depressed for the car to start (or fairly close)
I haven't been in the car since the snow, so I can't say fully where the 'click' is when it his the sensor...

 

I haven't checked, but I'll guess the point in the throw where the switch is tripped is adjustable. If not, a small piece of rubber/plastic/whatever glued to the arm would solve it.

Barring that, tape the switch on or rewire it.

 

Very cool. Haven't seen those before, but it should be easy enough to fab up if the aftermarket doesn't offer one.

 

That's exactly what you have to do to get it so the car will start. I'll post back once I find one/make one.

I hope you don't run sanctioned drag race events or you won't pass tech with a bypassed clutch switch

 

It won't be bypassed. I simply extend the part on the clutch that presses the switch in. If I completely disabled it the cruise control probably wouldn't work because it would think the clutch is pressed in all the time. Not to mention the fact that the car could be started in gear without the clutch being depressed.

In essance all that will happen is when I slam the clutch in it won't go all the way to the floor. Only far enough to disengage the clutch then stop.

They feel weird at first, but once you get used to it there is no going back.
