Reply to "Clutch"

Mike, as mentioned, the pedal actuation area is really too limited to get enough disengagement distance with ONE disc. Now double that with multiple discs and you will be rapidly wearing out the steel synchros in your ZF transaxle. They are not simple to change and are very expensive as well since the integral gear cones wear with the synchros. Thus everything must be replaced. There is ONE source for new ZF parts in the universe and everyone pays full retail.

Another approach is one successfully used by several more severely handicapped owners: a vacuum-assisted power unit adapted to the std clutch. One from an import mini-truck power brake assembly can be made to fit in the space available on the front firewall. It's booster-can is around 5" in OD. This approach avoids the can-of-worms that is involved in clutch adaptions and focusses on the effort expended for the distance the clutch must travel to work optimally.
