CoolHands Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi Has anyone fitted an extra slave cylinder, or a different one, in order to make the clutch feel lighter? I remember reading a thread years ago on LRE forums but that's long gone. Anyone got a link? Advice? I know many peeps find the pedal heavy, so any definitive advice would be good for all of us!

tacr2man Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 The way its normally done is to fit an inline servo (brake booster) as used on some mgb ,s etc . Some l& Cr*&^%rs had a little servo as standard on the clutch m/cyl . HTSH p.s makes it as light as a feather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 You could fit a 300 Tdi Defender clutch pedal assy. These have a different spring arrangement (breakover spring?) which assists on the downward push as well as the return. Not as light as a normal car clutch pedal but much, much easier.

western Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Fit the later clutch pedal assembly from a 300Tdi or Td5, it has a much better assist spring & feels lighter than the older unit. more info here & here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHands Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 thanks western, any idea how much the whole pedal box assembly costs? Does it bolt straight in? (still reading..) http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?act=atta...ost&id=2847 ok just found part numbers posted by western elsewhere. for future reference: LR part number of mine is ANR3400 probably superseded by this version now SUB100320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Should take a couple of hours, the complete pedal assembly is a straight swap & uses the same clutch mastercylinder, the pedal adjustment is the same too, Microcat says £36.44 plus VAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Make sure you get the 6 bolts for the TD5 clutch pedal box too. The later bolts are metric, the 200Tdi pedal box bolts are imperial. (guess how I found that out) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
