Please note that you
will notice an immediate difference in shifting. Users have
reported that it can take several days to adjust to the feel and use
of a Mason Engineering Clutch Pedal versus the stock pedal. Several
have reported a few stalls until they because familiar with the
quicker clutch engagement. On the flipside returning to a vehicle
with a stock clutch pedal can leave you driving like you’ve never
used a stick before.
