Clutch Switch
 
What kind of setup are you stick guys using for a clutch switch to control 2 step? I never had a switch on the clutch just button on shifter. Pics would be nice.
Thanks, Rod

I use a Biondo switch working off the Z bar. It allows you to dial it in so it releases just where you want it to!

Don's setup looks pretty nice.
I may have to try that on my next clutch job !
I've used the Jerry Bickel switch in the past which is a very heavy duty switch with molded in leads and an adjustable arm .
they also have a universal mounting bracket for it.

What is the issue with a switch on the shifter in Stock.
I believe the SS people are allowed one on their shifter.

Some Stockers have a switch on the brake pedal for their 2step.

That would be quite feat. 3 pedals at once.

When I did mine , I drilled and tapped the end of the clutch pedal shaft. Then bolted a throttle lever from an old Rochester two barrel to it . Made a 90* bracket and attached it to the pedal support and used a standard GM brake light switch.

Unless the rules have changed again. I believe the stockers have to have 2 step controlled by clutch. It is a stupid rule that just adds extra wiring and points of failure.

Thanks for the replies guys. I am exploring options on the set up. I assume that both those switches have to be adjusted every time the clutch is adjusted correct? Is one more user friendly than the other? I have figured out how to use 2 relays to lock the line lock and 2 step together just working on clutch switch configuration and location for ease of use.

I went on the BIONDO web site couldn't find the switch. Do you have a part number?
Thanks, Rod

I said "some", that would not be a stick car. I think you knew that. LOL

I believe it was a Biondo Transbrake switch, but here is a link to the Jegs version. As far as adjusting it when clutch set up is being changed it's easily corrected to account for any rounds being added or removed.....and that is if any adjustment is really even needed. Good Luck!!

Rod, I use the Biondo switch. I drilled a hole in my clutch pedal and the switch comes through the hole! When my foot is on the clutch it is activated! Works fine!

Rod,
I use an OMRON switch P/N D4C-1620 (actuated by the clutch fork). It looks very similar to the Jerry Bickel switch, but it can be found on ebay for ~$15 new.

I've put these on a number of stick cars for guys. Fab a mounting bracket and a tab on the pedal to actuate it. Infinitely adjustable. Guys like them fine.
