For the past month or so I have noticed a few unsettling noises coming from my TOB. It only happens when the car is stone cold, and when the clutch pedal is to the floor. It is a "buzzing" and "scraping" sound associated with the TOB/PP contact. ONLY when the clutch pedal is completely buried into the carpet. So I accustomed myself to not pressing the pedal in all the way until I looked into it further.

At first I thought that the clutch tensioner might be overtensioning it, so when the pedal is fully depressed, the TOB is actually beying pushed beyond its ideal depth into the PP.

Today I had a few projects on my mind. One of which was to look more into this issue.

It looks as though the clutch pedal STOP pad is nearly completely deteriorated :oogle: So my original thoughts were somewhat correct. All I did to remidy this was fasten a rubber pad to the pedal itself with a hose clamp.

Good as gold. It still goes far enough to hit the clutch interlock switch, but not TOO far. :corn:

I assume this was on the high mileage red car? I may have to get under the dash and take a look at mine considering I have similiar mileage. Well actually 30-35K more.

Actually, as it turns out, the $400 "ugly" Red SHO only has 75k :lol:

This was on my Titanium daily driver. 120k, with just about 20k on the clutch.
