Vacuum assist for clutch?

Anyone have experience with installing some sort of vacuum assist for the clutch hydraulics to lessen the pedal effort on a stiff clutch?
Thanks.
RonA

Don't see why it can't be done, though it may be more delayed than without assist,

having the room under the cowl to run it would be a task unless you redid everything to mount it farther away. or find the tiniest vacumm booster you can find... altho a hyrdro booster would work too.

find different hydraulics, like a smaller master or larger slave. smaller master will give more pressure, but will increase pedal effort slightly. could also change the actual pedal effort by moving pivots around.

basically, all the hotrod tricks for brakes will work on clutches too.
