The factory VW wing nut clutch adjuster slips, slaps your knuckles cold, and never holds the same feel twice. The Six Shooter ends that — for good.

Process — Not Parts — Determines Performance

Six ergonomic finger pockets machined right into the body. One pocket = one click of pedal feel — spin it by hand, lock-in grip, no tool required. That is the upgrade in one sentence.

The original German wing nut was a marginal experience even when new — a 5-out-of-10 on its best day. What is on most cars now is a soft replacement that strips, slips, and feels like a week of not shaving. Try adjusting it cold and you have already met the propeller — that knuckle-slap that earns a Go#$&#)$)*_#@)_*$*it!!! We have all been there. So we built the fix and gave it a name we are not embarrassed about.

Why It Works

  • Six finger pockets vs. two wing tabs. Triple the contact points. Your fingers lock into the pocket instead of skidding off a soft tab.
  • Adjusts by hand — cold, hot, or greasy. Contoured grips mean no propeller, no knuckle-slap, no fishing in the toolbox.
  • Hard metal, not mush. No soft import nut that strips the first time you crank on it.
  • Roadside repeatable. Spin it by hand, count the pockets, dial back to the feel you set on the lift. No wrench needed.
  • Pedal target made simple. 1/2" to 3/4" of free play at the top of the pedal — every time, every chassis.

Choose Your Finish

Raw Steel The base. Coat with paint, oil, or anti-seize before install.
Black Zinc Ships ready to install. The crowd favorite.
Stainless Steel Run anti-seize on every adjustment.
Titanium Lightest, hardest, lifetime piece.

Install — Done Right the First Time

We built two install resources because process is what determines performance. Use either. Use both. Send them to the buddy in your garage who skips the lube step.

Top 5 Install Mistakes — Skip These

  • Dirty threads. 50K miles of crud in 7mm × 1.0 threads makes the adjuster bind. Wire-brush or thread-chase first.
  • No lube on the cable. Grease or anti-seize is mandatory. Steel-on-steel galls fast.
  • Forgetting the back face. Lube the bearing surface where the nut meets the clutch lever — that is where binding shows up.
  • Excess grease left on the cable. Wipe it. Wet grease is a grit magnet, and grit is what grinds adjusters.
  • Raw left uncoated. Bare steel surface-rusts in a season. Paint or anti-seize before it goes under the car.

    Looks great, simple install and makes adjusting the clutch so easy. No longer do I need to be a contortionist trying to spin that horrible stock butterfly nut.

  • Looks great... 5

    Looks awesome, I didn't take into account that the shaft on my hydraulic slave cylinder had a larger shaft than the original cable. Oops. That's nothing that a drill and tap can't fix.

  • ANOTHER AWESOME PRODUCT 5

    I have always wanted something to replace that wing-nut. This will help adjusting the clutch a piece of cake.
