hi, anyone fitted a different clutch stop, and does it help the gearshifting at all or adjusted the stock bmw one, 2007 z4 m coupe, thanks, any thoughts.

Not really thought about a clutch stop but first to second shifts are notchy. Fairly common I think

I read about the clutch stop mod and was sceptical about it. I made my own so that there's minimal dead space under the clutch pedal and I've been very surprised at how effective this is in overcoming the clutch delay valve problem. When the clutch stop is fitted, you just press the clutch pedal until it hits the stop, change gear, and release the clutch without any left foot modulation and you're off again. It's very worthwhile.
I used a 40mm M10 bolt with 3 nuts, one of which I use as a locking nut when the stop is properly adjusted, and fitted a rubber chair leg stop over the bolt (had to buy four of them from Homebase - that's where all the cost went!) and two other nuts. It cost me about £4 in all.

The point of the clutch stop mod isn't to raise the height at which the clutch engages but to determine the actual engagement point just after you lift off from the stop beneath the pedal. This way you're not having to modulate the clutch with your left foot to get engagement to avoid the kangarooing and possible problems caused by the CDV (clutch delay valve).Steve220 said:
