Clutch effort reduction kit.

Bought mine from Mike Mayberry who lists Pantera parts on eBay.

It's a nice kit that uses needle bearings.

Hi Ron,

thanks for the info, I go order this kit.

Hi Simon, I just put the above effort reduction pieces  with complete rebuild of the pedal box,  etc.  But, I also have a long throw slave which increases the pedal effort so kind of offsets the "advantage". My set up is perfectly adjusted with correct clearance and correct EVERYTHING and as many have said, the original system was very much at the limit for nice release. So, after going back and forth with experiments on the stock and then the long throw slave, I played it safe and kept the long throw.  But you probably know this stuff already!!

Hi Dan,

thanks for  the advice and sugestions.

Think I found the problem, the pivot shat turns not smootly, think I drill a hole on each side on the place of the bearing and screw in a grese nipple for a smoother  turn of the pivot shaft.

Hope it will work this way and take out the transaxle is not needed.

Simon

When you say pivot shaft, are you talking about the cross shaft for the clutch fork?

I believe those are sealed bearings on each end of the cross shaft and adding a grease nipple will be of no value

i have the Mccloud hydraulic throw out bearing and the pedal effort reductions deal and i can't imagine what a stock clutch felt like, thank god i fly a plane, both legs will be the same size from right rudder.

I am working on pulling my pedal assembly out, and will be machining the four main cast pedestals for 20 mm ID needle bearings.

I also have needle bearings for the clutch effort reduction kit linkage, and for the accelerator pedals.

I’m doing this as a project through my community college, so I’m getting access to the mill that I need to machine out the bearing pockets.

I would assume the cross shaft is this main shaft that transfers the clutch pedal across the top of the pedal box to the effort reduction linkage..  I would assume a judiciously drilled hole in four locations might help the shaft move more smoothly…

No, this is not my pedal assembly, but a representative one that I’m using to evaluate the amount of work to be done…. I still have to pull mine out of the car…

After take out the ZF I found the main problem, a stupid mechanic has mounting the new clutch, T/O bearing and brass pilot bush without grease.

The T/O bearing was scraped on the inputshaft bush.
