Power assisted clutch booster | The De Tomaso Forums

Has anyone had experience using a power assisted clutch booster for their Pantera. Ron Hyde used one on his car but the part is from a 20 year old AWD Turbo Mitsubishi. Wondering if there's a more current and common part available?

'90s era 300ZX twin turbo had a vacuum assisted clutch. Don't know if anyone has done this. Perhaps you can be the first!

Glenn Coggins adapted his Pantera to hand control as well, but I believe he used an "auto-clutch" setup. Try contacting him for more information about his solution. He used to have a website, but I can't find it.

I'm not sure what his current email address is, but here are a couple he's used on the DT Mail List over the last few years.

Just an FYI that the part may be available from some sources besides a wrecking yard...
