I have Engineer 1949's prototype lighter clutch in my car, if you find yourself heading east.....
But I read on here in the last few days that a super-heavy clutch happens when the hydraulics are about to die....

Been considering this for a while for my car. What is the feel like through the pedal when running a servo? Do you still detect the bite-point ok?
My only issue, which I have been too lazy/busy to fix, is that on starting up the engine there is a lack of initial servo vacuum, hence the pedal feels slightly odd. This is exacerbated because I refuse to use the handbrake unless on the side of Ben Nevis, so am always starting the engine with my foot on the clutch.
Anyone who started the car out of gear would just give the pedal a couple of initial pumps and not have the problem. The problem manifests as a slightly sticky pedal until there is sufficient vacuum. An electric vacuum pump would also solve it. In general driving the lighter clutch is lovely, in traffic it is bliss for my poor sore foot.
If you want to come and try it just let me know.
