arm or leg injury? Am wondering if there is a servo assisted clutch modification available (like other cars) which allows you to use the gearstick normally but you press a button on the stick to electrically depress the clutch.

I know some Audis use a feed from the PAS pump for the clutch, light as a feather and surpringly, still very nice to drive. I wouldnt have thought it'd take a lot of work to mod this.

You'll also need a host of other stuff, small part of the wiring, oil cooler, shifter, flywheel etc etc.

Disco Auto will go straight onto lt77 mounts & you can keep propshafts. The engine mounts will have to be moved forward by approx 5", this means you will be able to use disco downpipe too.
Transmission tunnel will need adapting.

It was something I seen years and years ago, but it was electrical, I thought a real fast powerful servo operated the clutch pedal via cable attach to it. My ol'man was looking into it at one point for my mothers car. I think this website details what I recall or something very similar. http://www.brig-aydcontrols.co.uk/clutch_systems/syncro_clutch.php Think that one is a mechanical cable clutch, but I guess a electro hydraulic servo thingie could be used. edit: they detail this version too http://www.brig-aydcontrols.co.uk/clutch_systems/duck_clutch.php
Bob696:
Try contacting Paul Humphries.
He has (or had until very recently as it was up for sale) a 200Tdi 110 auto. He could probably give you a few hints.
Tommo:
wonder what would happen if you stuck a brake servo in there.
