Great find! I've had my effective by wobbly bumper in place for a couple months, but would be nice to have a snug fit. Would you sell one of your spares for a hefty price? I can't stomach buying a bag of 25 and discarding 24 of them.

 

Thanks! Yea, I can send you one. Wish I could just throw it in an envelope with a stamp, but I don't think that'll fly. I can try and message you for details now (not sure if I have permissions, as I'm a recent forum member and cayman owner).

 

Thank you for posting these details. I purchased the recommended bump stops and installed one today. I can confirm that it works great and made a nice improvement with the clutch travel and feel. I feel more confident shifting now!

The only drawback is when I popped the OEM bumper off it went somewhere that I couldn't find.... Not a big deal since I didn't think there would ever be any reason to switch back.

This is a great low cost high payback modification.

 

Hi that’s.horsche, great work this 👏👏

This is a fantastic solution to something what to my mind let’s the car down a little. I’ve just sent you a DM matey. Thanks Steve

 

@thats.horsche Do you have pictures of where the stopper should go? It doesn't look like it will go where @ajcarson11 's stopper is located.

 

OK, I found the picture in the other thread as mentioned. It looks like a better place than where the 3D printed version is located.

 

Considering it is the OEM location, it is definitely a better location and solution than the alternative that ajcarson11 had created.

 

I just added this today to my 2025 Boxster it is a solid agreement. It’ll make it much easier for my wife to learn how to drive it.

 

@thats.horsche Many Thanks for this thread and information!

I was looking for a solution to the same issue, yet on my 2024 911 C2S 7MT. Thus I was searching for a different "Clutch Stop" to replace the thin rubber stop that I had seen on my 911 Clutch/Brake Pedal assembly, and came across your solution.

My first reaction was "PERFECT" -- Uses the same OEM design, stop point, etc.... And since the current 718 and 911 use the same Clutch/Brake Pedal Assembly, its the same part from McMaster-Carr that you recommend.

So, I've order a bag (yup, I'll have a bunch of spares like everyone else), and will post back on the outcome one installed.

Thanks again for sharing!!

 

Awesome! Happy to be able to help fellow enthusiasts! And yes - keep us all posted! 🍻

 

The new Bumper Stops arrived today. Took me less than 1 minute to pop off the original rubber stop and push in the new McMaster-Carr stop. And 30 seconds of that was getting my old bones down under the dash in the drivers footwell.

The clutch pedal travel on my 2024 C2S 7MT originally stopped about 1/2" from the carpet floor. Now it stops about 3" from the floor, so a reduction in 2.5" of travel. Clutch switch for starting is still activated, and I have about 2" of travel between full press and clutch initial engagement.

So it's a big win to reduce some of the clutch pedal travel! And such a simple and elegant solution.

Many Thanks @thats.horsche

 

... getting my old bones down under the dash in the drivers footwell.

For others following, you may find it easier on the old bones to open the door, sit on the floor, and reach one hand in to do the swap. It's a blind operation, but easy for non-arthritic fingers.

The move is similar to the method I use to change the cabin air filter from the driver's seat.

 

Excellent info everyone! If someone has extras of these and wouldn't mind mailing me one, I'd greatly appreciate it and will pay the cost +shipping. I have a USA forwarding address, so easy to send one my way. Send me a PM if you can help.

 

I have extras, will PM later today

Edit: So I do not know how to start a "Conversation" (PM on this site). HELP

 

I've looked everywhere, and can't find out either!

 

Hi all, I'm interested in purchasing 1 instead of a pack of 25 from anyone. Will pay for packaging and Shipping thanks!

 

Hi Everyone, still after one of these McMaster bushings. If you have a bag of them I'd like to buy one please. Will pay all costs.

 

Have you contacted @Rafiki about their offer above?

 

I would try and help, too, but I'm still newb status. Try and find/message me on insta (same handle), as that might get thru, and I'll try and get back to you.

 

This is such a perfect find. I too find the clutch travel to be a bit of a challenge to get that perfect bite every time. Combined with a slightly textured TuxMat that has a ridge right in the spot of my shoe heel, and the fact that I’m a big guy squeezed into a snug seat with some back issues and you have the perfect recipe for clutch slip-ups. I’m also in the ship of paying someone to mail/ship me a couple of their extras, I too cannot fathom buying a pack of 25 only to lose them or discard them.

I've reached out to both OP and @Rafiki, I'll also help try to coordinate for others here who need some.

 

I did mine over the weekend. Yet to take a test drive, so I'll report more feedback after I do. Meantime, if anyone wants pictures of how it looks from the bottom looking up towards the backside of the clutch pedal and steering column:

 

Hi All,

New owner of a 2025 base cayman 6MT. Thanks for the intel on this - first real drive in the car was a bit shocking in terms of clutch travel. I ordered a bag of these from McMC, so I guess I will end up with a bunch of extras.

I'm thinking I'll send ALL of the extras to someone who needs one, and then that person can do the same for the next person...on and on. Saves one person from having to turn into a distribution center.

If anyone needs one and is cool to pass along the supply to the next person (who'll then do the same), just shoot me a message with your address.

 

Hi im still looking for one of these without buying a whole pack of 25. Im not sure I can message yet though.

 

I've been daily driving my 2024 base cayman 6MT for pretty much a year now and it's been a joy to drive. I'm so glad i did made this mod to my car right away. Clutch feel/use is super easy and intuitive/natural.

I imagine the buyer at McMaster in the last year is like...why the heck are we suddenly selling so many of these rubber bumpers?! 🍻

 

Just got my Boxster T 2 weeks ago as my daily driver and one of the first things I did was look for information about the excessive clutch pedal travel. Bought a bag of these and they arrived this morning. Wow what a difference. So much more intuitive starting out from a stop now.

Like others I now have several available.

 

Couldn't wait so ordered a pack for $34 shipped

It occurred to me while looking at how it functions in theory you could just glue something similar on top of the current rubber pad to elevate the correct height at which the clutch will engage. This bump stop of course makes it simple being a pop on solution.

 

For any 981 owners that ended up on this thread...it also works in my 2014 981 Boxster S. Just drove 200 miles on it - was great and made a huge difference. Thanks OP!

 

I would like to purchase one of the extras that you have bought. Please DM me with the cost with shipping to 45039.
Thanks
Van

 

Has someone done this on a GTS 4.0? I'm not sure if transmission/clutch is identical.

 

Yes, GTS 4.0 has identical clutch pedal frame assembly, and same rubber stop as in a 992.1. Thus mod worked great in both of mine.

😁

 

I've bought a bag for delivery info Canada. Will keep a few for myself in case it ever needs replacement but more than happy to help out other Canadians who may only need 1. Pickup in Ottawa or Oakville can be arranged as I live in the former and travel to the latter regularly

 

I'm interested and there are a few more of us in Ottawa that might be.

 

I have a bag of them but not able to DM or receive DMs so i guess ill need to wait till I'm able to.

 

Please let me know if you want to sell 1.
Thanks
Van

 

One more fun fact...on the 981S I installed it on, the McMaster 9309K57 bumper is about the maximum height bumper before the car won't start - which is great. I tried reducing the throw a bit more by sticking a small rubber bumper on top of this one and got the clutch warning light unless I really pressed hard. FANTASTIC find OP!
