Thread: Softer clutch action for Puma?

But the Puma clutch is already a bit lighter than the previous Td5. Man up!

Gym membership?

As mentioned - join a gym or drive more to improve your leg muscles. My better half has no problem driving our 110 or our IIA.

There is no reason the redbooster won't work. To decrease foot effort you need to increase mechanical advantage - either through pneumatics (booster) or by changing the link geometry - e.g. longer pedal or changed pivot. The latter would mean even more pedal travel.

The redbooster is probably just a generic booster, so if you search the small car wreckers you may be able to find one which will fit.

I haven't had so many blokes show interest in my masculinity since getting a haircut in Newtown

Ssooo... Back to the question. Does anyone have experience with the redbooster on a puma? Or a cheaper mod? If I get a generic one from a wreckers, what am I looking for?

I'd get the red booster, Compared to a Landcruiser The clutch on the Td5 is VERY heavy, I even put a Tdi clutch spring on mine which improved it a lot.

Apart from the fact that the red booster will make the clutch so light that your wife will want to drive all the time it will make changing the master cylinder a 5 min job, because how its set up now is a pain to change.

You can't just get a small booster from a jap car, its the new pedal tower that comes with the kit where the money is.

Take an R series, Acco or Centurian for a drive, you'll be amazed at how light the clutch is after that...

OR

go do some leg presses.

Watch a couple of episodes of fattest loser and suddenly everyone's a personal trainer.
It's for a dodgy hip people. Now it's the resident surgeons turn... Go!

Sounds like you need an auto conversion then. (won't be much more than the prices for that clutch kit!)

Btw - if you ever need a hip replacement, find a female surgeon...

I figured the TD5 and Puma must have had the clutch MC turned around to face a sensible direction! I think I will have to fab up a pedal box like that to turn the MC around. Just changed a clutch MC, not keen on doing it again.
