how to soften td5 clutch

hey i have a 110 td5 defender and the clutch is much stiffer than all the 300tdi defenders we have . we have pulled the box and checked the clutch ,fork , pressure plate etc. it looked like all were recently replaced but it was dry (no grease on shaft , fork ) so we greased it up changed the release bearing mounted it all back and it is a little better but still stiff i even soaked the clutch pedal with WD40 (it made some diffrence) .

so is there a way to soften the clutch ? im thinking a bigger bore slave cylinder . has anyone done this ?

Dont the td5s have an over centre spring to help with the pedal ?
What about a remote servo?


Lynall

yes the have the little spring on the pedal but its still harder than the 300tdi . the servo looks good but very expensive

There is a how to guid in this monts LRO on softening the clutch pedal, suppose to be a approved mod

ok but im not sure if i could get my hands on a copy of LRO
