Re: Why isn't Bendix TV as sensitive as it used to be?

I would think any kind of vacuum leak would make the pedal harder to push and you would hear the hiss or have a rough or fast engine. Is that what you mean by less sensitive or does the lining not grab like before so there is more pedal pressure required to stop the car.

In the 70s I had a car relined after asbestos was banned and those new linings stopped like crap compared to the older OEM lining. First time I stopped after leaving the shop I almost hit something because the feel was so different. I took the car back to have it checked but they assured me that was the feel and said get used to it. I did.
