FlowState Clutch Stop bracket, angled view

Every ND Miata's clutch pedal has some travel before it starts engaging. The FlowState Clutch Stop mounts to a factory stud on the driver's side firewall and gives that pedal a firm, physical stop right at your engagement point, so it's shorter, more consistent, and easier to modulate.

Improved ergonomics - Reduces how far your left leg has to extend to fully press the clutch pedal, which can improve your seating position, in some cases enough to move your seat back a notch. (This is what inspired the product.)

It reuses the factory nut, needs no drilling or permanent modification, and comes off just as easily as it goes on.

Installation

Find the mounting location

On the driver's side, on the firewall just above and to the left of the clutch pedal, you'll find a threaded stud with a 10mm nut on it.

Before you remove anything: tuck a rag or shop towel underneath the nut. If it's dropped, it can fall behind the interior carpet and is a pain to fish back out. The towel should catch it.

Remove the nut

Remove the nut from the stud.

Install the clutch stop

Mount the clutch stop onto the stud and tab.

Reinstall the nut

Install the nut back onto the stud and tighten.

Confirm the clutch disengages

Good habit any time you adjust something with the clutch pedal: start the engine, let the idle settle, then with the brake held, press the clutch pedal all the way in and shift into 1st gear. It should go in smoothly.

If it's hard or not possible to get into gear, the clutch isn't fully disengaging. If it does shift fine, watch the tachometer while holding the clutch down and shifting in and out of gear — idle RPM should hold steady. A dip, or the engine struggling to idle, means the same thing. Either way, remove the clutch stop and reach out.

If you ever want to go back to stock, just reverse these steps — nothing about the install is permanent.
