FAQs
What does this product do?
The purpose of this product is to remove the weak rubber line that expands under
pressure from the pressurized clutch hydraulic system and replace it with a
stainless steel line that does not expand under pressure.
How does this product work?
When you step on the clutch pedal, pressure is sent out of the master cylinder
through the factory clutch line. From there, it goes into the slave cylinder
which applies pressure to the clutch pressure plate, releasing the clamping
load. The problem is that with an upgraded clutch, the clamping force on the
pressure plate is increase resulting in more pressure required to disengage
the clutch. With the factory hydraulic pressure let alone the increase in hydraulic
pressure caused by an upgraded clutch, the line expands. As the line expands
less pressure and energy is used to disengage the clutch, and more energy is
wasted as the factory clutch line expands. The stainless steel line eliminates
this because it does not expand under pressure.
Where does this product install?
This product replaces the rubber line that is located between the clutch master
cylinder and the slave cylinder. The included metal slave cylinder also replaces the failure prone factory slave cylinder
How entailed is the installation of this product?
Installation is straight forward and requires basic hand tools such as wrenches
and sockets. The clutch system will also need to be bled after installation.
Installation should take about 2 hours.
What warranty does this product have?
The stainless steel clutch line carries a liftetime warranty.
