Clutch pedal position sensor module - test subjects needed

[jrh@lpe]

We are finishing up testing on our module (CTAP-001) that connects to the clutch pedal position sensor on the 2010-2013 Camaros and allows you to activate/deactivate devices based on the clutch pedal position.

The device can then be used to enable/disable nitrous or a 2-step based on the clutch pedal position (using the built in clutch pedal position sensor from GM).

The module allows you to adjust the activation point in 1% increments.

It can also connect to most other 0-5 volt signals (throttle position, accelerator pedal position, brake pedal travel sensors etc.).

Here is a link to the instructions for the product.

Retail will be $114.95 and we have also made a plug-and-play harness for the Camaro (2010-2013), Corvette (2008-2013) and CTSV (2009-2013) clutch pedal position sensor to make it easier to wire up. That harness will be $14.95.

I would like to get a few more installed on vehicles and tested before we release this product to the general public so I am offering to sell them at a discount to a few more beta-test customers. You have to be in a position to install it and put it to use right away (within the next two weeks).

Anyone interested please contact me via PM.

Thanks,

I recently got a PM & call from "Merc" and thought this may be of help to others......

If anyone else needs any pointers on installing the Lingenfelter CTAP-001 Clutch/Throttle Position sensor, I will be glad to give pointers. Merc got the version with the longer Purple wire so any disconnecting and moving the actual adjustable unit would be easier..... something I mentioned to LPE while Beta Testing the unit. The biggest thing to help is Do Not remove the clutch switch to get the connector off..... looks like a royal PITA. I removed the same switch off the brake switch and examined how the connector came off and too a lot of pictures with my camera of the positioning of the current clutch switch harness using mirrors. Seem to remember bending a small screwdriver to make a good harness clip removal tool. Pulled the lower left footwell paneling off and fuse panel cover. Put drivers seat back as far as possible (didn't remove) and steering wheel as high as it could go. Left arm was a tight squeeze to get my hand touching the connector, and right arm under the dash with the home made removal tool was like playing a game of twister. Then had a printed out picture of the position of the connector to my side to reverence so I could interpret what I was feeling. Presto.... got it off. Installing the new one that goes between the OEM harness and the existing clutch switch is much easier than the removal. I also added just a tad of light bulb grease to the connection to make it slide on easier. But I would definitely stay away from removing the existing switch to do it. I have fairly big hands and was able to do it. Or.... have a friend or mechanic with smaller hand help you out. Switch works great! What I really like is being able to adjust at what point in the clutch pedal travel the activation occurs since all clutches have different engagement points... plus may need adjustment later as clutch wears and the engagement point starts to changes. Also, I maxed out the hysteresis to 4.5 to keep from any chance of on/off problems if close to the engagement point in the clutch pedal travel..... since I have the triple carbon clutch and Really engages! (may play around with the adjustment later for fine tuning) For those that don't know, the "hysteresis" that Jason Haines from Lingenfelter built in, is so you have a "window" for the activation point - without this feature, if you have the clutch pedal at the activation point and moved slightly (like during hard launches)..... the activation could be turning on/off instead of staying activated. His install instructions explain everything really good. I'll post the same thing in my thread build at post #125:

If I can locate all the pictures I emailed Jason, I'll post that in my build thread also. Thanks again Jason!
