Brake booster shot
Well, before startups in the morning, the brake pedal has been feeling stiff lately.
But whenever I start it up, the feeling comes back to it, feeling normal, until yesterday.
The brake pedal, after engine startup kept that stiff feeling (like there's a tennis ball under the brake pedal), so I took it to my mechanic and he checked it out and told me it's the brake booster. I'm getting vaccuum but, the brake booster is shot he said.
I believe it's the first time for replacement on this 89. Does it owe me anything, or is 14 years good enough?
Have you ever had to replace, and if so, when? I have about 149 000 km (92 500 miles) on it, with about 27 000 km (16 500 miles) on the new motor.

I've got an '84, and as of yet had not had to replace. Nock on Wood.
Good Luck
If that is the problem.
