PKlutch useless? (Problem solved)

Jeez, you're making me feel bad for suggesting this. My install took maybe 20 minutes including the parcel shelf removal??? Anyway, if you think it's not working try turning it out a bit till you can find the sweet spot. I didn't measure it but it feels like I reduced the pedal travel about an inch which made a huge difference for me as it allows more positive clutch action and therefore more positive shifts. Just ask anyone who's driven in the car with me

S4-up may have a shorter stroke because the single disk does not require as much travel to disengage.
Effectively, the S4 up pedal arm has to travel about 5mm or so less than a dual disk for full disengagement.
With a clutch stop, you are hitting an adjustable rubber buffer, plus a bracket with a bit of give (if you really bash it), part way up the clutch arm, not the back end of the clutch master with the full leverage of the arm.
Ah man, it took me two fr*cken hours to think of it, make it out of cardboard, and CAD draw it.
Now, I have to do it again?!

I had no problems installing mine with the supplied materials. However I too had to make a new stop. Found a long stainless bolt at Menards, and then slipped a rubber cap over the head to make the stop. The original bumper included was about an inch too short for my application.
Been very happy with mine after getting it dialed in.

I still have about half of the supplied bumper arm left to draw out for dialing in. I'll mess with it a little more here soon (once my back recovers! Ridiculously achy this morning from yesterday's efforts) to maximize the benefit of the stopper. The throw is definitely a little shorter than before, which is nice and should be great for tracking the car.
