CRP2 ClutchMOZA CRP2 Clutch Pedal — the third pedal for a CRP2 set: three-stage feel, two springs

A bite point you can feel through your foot

The MOZA CRP2 Clutch Pedal is the third pedal that turns a CRP2 set — throttle and brake — into a full three-pedal unit. It is made of the same materials as the rest of the series: CNC-machined aerospace-grade aluminium on a steel base, an enclosed mechanism with a polished steel shaft, and the same black-and-gold styling. What matters most is the character of the travel. MOZA builds the effort in three stages: a short, light take-up, a sharp rise in resistance through the middle, as with a real pressure plate, and and a crisp, quick release at the end. Two springs of different rates are supplied and tension adjusts steplessly without tools, so the bite point can be set for the car you drive, from a relaxed road car to a formula machine. A clutch gives you what two pedals cannot: standing starts and wheelspin control, heel-and-toe downshifts, manual shifting with the clutch, and rally techniques through corners. The pedal mounts on the CRP2 base and works through it; curves, dead zones and calibration are handled in MOZA Pit House on PC. This is an accessory — it is not used apart from the CRP2 pedals.

1. 01

   Three stages instead of one spring

   A cheap sim clutch is just a spring: effort rises linearly and the bite point has to be guessed. The CRP2 Clutch reproduces a real pressure plate in three stages — a short light take-up, then a sharp rise in resistance as the plate loads, and a crisp, quick release at the end. That step is what tells your foot, through the pedal, exactly when the car will move.

2. 02

   Two springs, stepless tension

   Two springs of different rates are supplied, and the tension on each adjusts smoothly rather than in fixed clicks. That lets you build a soft clutch for a road car or a short, heavy one for formula and GT. Pedal travel is set between 15 and 25 degrees. As on the rest of the CRP2 pedals, it is all done by hand: MOZA deliberately designed the wrenches and hex keys out of the adjustments.

   Where a clutch actually wins time

   A standing start in iRacing, rFactor 2 or AMS2: metering the bite gets you away cleanly, without wheelspin and without stalling. A heel-and-toe downshift in Assetto Corsa and ACC: the clutch comes in inside the braking zone and the revs pick up smoothly. Manual shifting with the clutch in Forza makes gear changes quicker and more involving, and in DiRT Rally 2.0 a short clutch kick helps rotate the car into a hairpin.

   One pedal, the same set

   The clutch mounts on the CRP2 base and becomes the third axis: it has no connection of its own — the signal goes through the CRP2 electronics. Materials and finish match the throttle and brake — machined aluminium on a steel base, black anodising with gold accents — so the set looks like one piece in the rig rather than parts from different generations. Calibration and curves sit in Pit House alongside the other pedals.
