Im wondering if the rjm would be a waste for me at this point or if the money would feel well spent.
I have no issue shifting into gear or making my car smoothly take off without much thought. No jerking or hating my clutch. I did always like very grabby clutches. Stop and go traffic can be meh since its stiff but not to the point that i hate it.
There’s another reason to get the rjm clutch pedal. It prevents premature failure of the slave cylinder by making it not disengage past it’s optimal point. Search.

That's been Ryan's claim for years now, and it seems a reasonable one. There certainly is some kind of design flaw in the OEM system between the pedal, the MC and the CSC.

I wouldn't hang my hat on that claim, but it adds another convincing point to choosing the RJM Pedal.

Until i have a metal csc, im willing to place hope in anything to prolong me having to drop the transmission tbh lol

RJM pedal has been a godsend!

I did the weak spring and it helped maybe 15%.

The pedal: 90%. Still not quite as nice a feel as my old G35, but still...way way better than before the RJM pedal.

Just do it.
