Critical Issue

Many MR2s face clutch engagement and disengagement issues. Owners replaced everything, bled numerous times and tried all the, lets call them "Band-Aids" with no luck. Guess why.

A commonly overlooked critical issue with all factory clutch pedals on the 91-98 MR2, where simple normal wear and tear (about 70-110k+ mileage, firmer the pedal, quicker it wears) of the clutch pedal clevis attachment point (this part called clevis connects the clutch pedal to a rod going into your clutch master cylinder) will cause numerous issues, such as

• Premature wear of your expensive transmission
• Gear change hesitation/lock outs at higher RPMs
• Grinding gears when shifting, eventually being permanent (you could be damaging/wearing your transmission synchros prematurely without even knowing or hearing it)
• Low clutch engagement point on pedal stroke
• Difficulty in engaging and or disengaging clutch - "an overly sticky clutch"
• Difficulty and or complete inability to change gears
• Inconsistent and spongy pedal feel - Soft first 1-4 inch of travel that does nothing and then firm pedal with no clutch disengagement action...

This normal wear and tear creates a situation where your clutch pedal stroke does not fully convert over to move the rod/piston of the clutch master cylinder, essentially means your transmission didn't fully "clutch in", clutch master cylinder rod/piston only moved perhaps 30-70% in relation to the full clutch pedal stroke, wasted pedal stroke. Its like stepping on your clutch pedal only 30-70% of the way and then you try to shift, say good bye to your expensive transmission. 

Solution

Our solution is a complete replacement of the factory clevis system as well as adding a roller needle bearing as replacement of the factory plastic bushing (we bet yours is worn out or missing completely already). This roller bearing stops further wear and restores proper clutch engagement. Furthermore, more adjustment range on new clevis for you to adjust the clutch pedal engagement point to your liking. Adds consistency and improved feel to your clutch pedal, no more annoying, soft, spongy, vague first 1-4 inch of travel, and then significantly firmer pedal that may or may not do anything.

• Reduces and or eliminates squeaking of clutch pedal
• Promotes proper clutch engagement
