Just in case you were wondering it isn't required and can be eliminated if you choose

what do you need to delete it?

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

A hose.

 

[#95GS-EX]

That's it? don't need to upgrade anything else?

 

[19Eclipse90]

To delete, you'd simply need a clutch line that runs from the joint on the car-side opposite of the hose shown on the black bracket to the slave cylinder. It removes that unit you have pictured, the accumulator, altogether.

The hoses then basicly run from the clutch master cylinder to the clutch slave, right?

 

[19Eclipse90]

Yes, just like a 1G setup at that point.

Thank you guys for the help.

The accumulator is supposed to soften the clutch hit. Guessing mitsu saw too many trans failures in the 1g from guys launching.

how do you like the feel of the clutch now? and how is the drivability.

 

[pauleyman]

The first 4 years of dsms were like this. Its fine. I do not have a puck clutch and certainly not an unsprung one. It's not a big deal. If you were originally looking for a replacement because your accumulator is damaged I wouldn't bother. New line and be done with it under 25$

 

[jdxnc]

Honestly never felt a difference when I deleted it, just simpler that way.

There is a tiny release valve under banjo bolt in slave cylinder. If you also remove it, you would probably feel it a bit more direct.

I read a dsm rally team once drilled that plate out a little larger once they figured out what that plate does. Funny thing was they were desperately trying to change gearing and avoid the 20k expense for a Groupe n trans. At the time evo stuff was probably available but nobody was talking about that. This was in the 90s.

I think the idea of drilling and removing would probably be the same. I removed it about 10 years ago, so far I haven't seen any issues, still have the same cylinders and line. I remember that I felt the difference. That made the engagement a bit more direct/harsh but solved the shifting issue at high rpm that I was struggling with. Also it made the engagement point on clutch pedal further from floor.

Thanks to everyone for your input. I really appreciate it. I will be doing the delete of the clutch booster once I get the new lines.

They only opened it up a few thousandths if I recall. The article was like 1992 1993 somewhere.

Oh sounds like they were adjusting it very precisely according to usage. It could be important for endurance racing.
