Hi KL570 ... what were the symtoms of the Clutch Booster going? I think mine is on the way out too. The clutch peddle has gone really heavy.

How are you going with the rebuild?

[KL570]

Finished! Will update with pics tomorrow!

And yes that sounds like the booster going to me :/ or a really stuck slave/master cylinder. Poke your head under and check the slave and pushrod to the clutch fork

This is really interesting ... I was trying to remove my steering wheel from the column spline, which requires lots of banging on the steering wheel ... and afterwards I found that the clutch peddle was now super smooth and light. I think the vibrations on the steering column were transferred up the firewall to the clutch booster and master unit. It didn't provide a permanent solution though, but each time the peddle goes heavy I can just bang the steering wheel a few times and it all comes good....

I had replaced the clutch a few months ago, and replaced the clutch master and slave a few years ago. I'll do the rebuild on the booster and check the master/slave cylinders at the same time...

Just another task to add to the to-do list...
