NegevLandRover Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I have two Defenders - the first is a 1994 200 TDI now running a 1996 300 TDI and the other is a 1996 300 TDI. The clutch pedal on the older vehichile is much much harder/stiffer to depress relative to the "newer" model. The stiffness has nothing to do with hydraulics, top or bottom, which have been chaged several times during the 675000+ kms that I have done so far. So 1. what is the difference between the two models ? 2. can the older model's pedal be "softened" and if then how ? TIA Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 There is a difference on some models (unsure of years) where the tower the clutch pivot is on and the position of the pivot gives an easier lighter clutch push. I have one one mine, but can't rememebr the part numbers nor what it was off. Nuts and bolts "easy fit" and makes a world of difference Western may be able to help Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Difference down to the assist/return spring on the later pedal assembly, get another & fit it to the 200Tdi, done it on my 1989 110, just a sraight forward swap & swap the clutch master over to the new pedal assembly, part number is SUB100320 [previously known as ANR3400]. get both vehicles side by side & look at the clutch pedal inside the cab, might have to move some trim, you'll soon spot the different arrangement.

NegevLandRover Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Thanks Western The upper clutch pump is leaking so that will have to come out anyway in the near future so no problems there. I don't really understand which bits swap out - can you please explain it slowly ? TIA Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yep spring is a 50% upgarde tower and off centre pivot does another 75% Yes I know that more than 100% you lot Spring = 50% better Tower on top makes another 75% easier Oh its late ---------------------whatever Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) get your hands on the pedal assembly [part number above] which is identical to the pedal in your 300Tdi truck, on the 200Tdi truck remove the pedal complete with the clutch master cylinder [upper clutch pump, as you call it] & fit the new upper clutch pump & new pedal unit. new pedal assist spring as on your 300Tdi truck parts book page new pedal unit clutch pump pushrod adjustment info Note --- in the above drawing you can see the earlier spring set up attached to the main body lower face hope that helps.
