Remote booster for heavy clutch

[Homestar]

Anyone done this before? Looking through the net, I have found a couple of mentions about using a VH44 remote booster in line between the clutch master and slave. Just got a thought bubble going on this as SWMBO has troubles in heavy traffic with the the clutch on the X Trail, and I'm thinking this could be a solution.

Before anyone mentions it - no, an Auto is not an option, she hates autos, and would prefer to live with a heavy clutch than drive an auto, but if I can make the clutch lighter, then all the better.

The other thought was a smaller diameter master cylinder but I don't think I'd get the throw I need if I did this.

Chinese VH44 knock offs are cheap, so I might just order one and give it a spin anyway, but if someone has done something similar and has anything to add, I'm all ears. :)

Did`nt some patrols run a small booster on their clutch master cylinder;)Could be a option

Yeah, they do but the pics I've looked at seems to show that the master cylinder and booster is all one part so it would need to be fitted to the firewall and would take quite some doing I think, but I haven't actually looked at how the master cylinder mounts on the X fail, so maybe I should check that out. :)

Hi, I have actually done some thoughtful planning and was going to use a brake pedal of a s3 with boosted brakes as a clutch pedal and mount the patrol clutch booster and master cyl to it. Just unsure if the master cyl diameters will match up to the slave cyl. Wont work on the xtrail but thought it might for series clutch thats very heavy or if u got a weak foot like I now have...
