Does anyone have a pic of the clutch booster or whatever the device is that vacuum assists the clutch in a TT??? If no pic, what does it look like and where would I find it in the engine bay if I had a manuall TT? I'll explain later.......
There is on a TT Mark, the actual booster I think is in the cabin way up in the dash above or around the bedals. It's a bulbous looking thing.... kinda hard to describe it any better than that. If you look in this pic [image]http://www.aus300zxclub.com/photodb/eb/eb9.jpg[/image]I am about 90% sure (someone correct me if mistaken) the line coming out of the very end of the balance pipe and then later Tees is for the clutch booster.... your NA should not have this line on the balance pipe.Ben
If you find it in the engine bay, you>> have been in an enormous accident. It is a small cannister (about 120mm in dia.)inside the cabin, behind the Clutch Pedal, through which, the Clutch Master Cylinder Actuating Rod passes on it's way between the pedal and the M/Cyl. The two bolts holding the Master Cylinder to the firewall, are part of the Booster. Cheers Mark Lloyd :-Z >D<
Well, this is what I found. Comments welcome Ok, this is what its meant to look like: The pipe with the yellow line I assume goes to the booster (thanks blip). The pipe with the red line goes to the brake thingy (the big round black thing) [image]http://users.bigpond.net.au/vader/boost/tt.jpg[/image]Now in my car I have this: I still have the pipe going to the brakes (red line), but instead of having a pipe coming off the balance pipe (as above) I have an extra pipe coming off the pipe leading to the brakes. Note the connector piece circled in green. After tracing the extra pipe (yellow line), it goes directly to the back of the little clutch reservior that contains the clutch fluid. I assume this provides the vacuum assistance I can feel when changing gears. If I disconnect this little setup, the clutch is extremely heavy and I would need the legs or Arnie to be able to drive around.

[image]http://users.bigpond.net.au/vader/boost/cb.jpg[/image]Also, see the little stain that the yellow arrow is pointing to?? Is this the sign of a future repair?? Is this a leak?

Amazing! Right where I said it would be:YD That could be a leak from the rear of the Master Cylinder, would be worth keeping an eye on it.Cheers Lloyd :-Z
