Failed Clutch Return Stop

[HPNQ420]

About one hour home driving to the Milwaukee area from Manitoba I went to get off the freeway for gas and couldn't find my clutch pedal. A brief but frantic search found it about 2" higher than normal.

The clutch stop must have failed. Operation is normal except I can feel a little click as I press it, probably pushing it past the broken stop.

Anybody else have one fail? Mine is a 2023 with about 75k miles.

Anybody know where this is physically located and how it functions? Tomorrow in the light I am going to investigate, with a backup plan of using a rubber bump stop on the pedal shaft if I need a part. A bit of weatherstrip cement and a zip tie for extra safety should do the trick. (Weatherstrip cement has held the rubber stoppers used for steering stops on my HPN BMW G/S for 17 years now.)

Temporary fix...the flash turns remnant weatherstrip cement all sorts of colors.

1 5/8" set the clutch pedal to the same height as the brake. There is still some free play before you can feel the heavier resistance of disengaging the clutch, and there is no slipping in 6th, so I hope I have it correct.

This is an especially fun area to work

(If i remember) I'll take a Pic of what mine looks like it you need it.

I'll get better pics later, was rushed this morning and was dark so I didn't know what I was shooting

Thank you! Does your clutch pedal sit even with your brake pedal when not pressed?

Clutch pedal sits a little bit higher. I’d guess a 1/4”.

Thank you. I need to trim my stop then, probably an eighth of an inch.

I also tried to get a pic, but it was difficult and raining and I was running late to work.

Trimmed up my stop today to get the clutch pedal sitting really close to those pictures you all sent. (Thank you again.) Tomorrow I am going to try to finish up my work early, then pull back the cylinder boot and see how that thing serves as a stop. Then, make an appointment to get it replaced under my extended warranty. I want to show them what is wrong so they don't insist on investigating, as that would likely tie my truck up for days, in which case I'd rather replace it myself, as much as I hate working in that space!

With some luck I'll have time to install the FP winch sitting in my garage.

Took some more pics, including what I think is the boot you are referring to, but still hard to get a shot
