If your pedal currently has the long coiled spring fitted, you will need a later clutch pedal. Good mod though, done it to the soft top Thumbs Up  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Could you give some more details? I have a 1999 Td5 and to be honest I find the clutch heavier than is good for my left knee Embarassed

I fitted a Britpart clutch assist thingy the other month, one of the better upgrades/mods i've done.

It's one of those 'why didn't I do this earlier' type situations. TD5 Defender 90

It's dead easy to swap for the later type.

That would do it. Yup, swap the whole assembly out.

No, these pedals are already fitted with the spring.

You don't need to change the clutch master cylinder over either, you can use your existing one.  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top
