gonna install it today - should be fun

 

no its not

its a *****

 

so true, so very true.......

 

its quite a difference than stock

 

what difference does this part make?

 

better clutch feel...major difference and is a b**** to install with bleeding the clutch and all

 

This stainless steel braided line replaces the rubber factory hose between the clutch master cylinder and the hard line to the clutch release cylinder. By replacing the pliable rubber section with this braided line, clutch actuation is more direct and the engagement point is more consistent.

 

this is the worst to install

 

Notice how your line omits the bend compared to the OE line? The first SS clutch line I got did not have this bend. I ended up taking the clutch master cylinder out of the car to put the banjo bolt in. I later realized I could have ran the line in from the top or bottom before trying to screw the banjo bolt in.

I ended up switching to the WORK TKS clutch line, which has this bend in it. That line was so much easier to install compared to my first one. The banjo bolt screwed right in on my first attempt.

Good luck with the install.

 

did anyone take out the clutch restrictor while you were at it. I'm thinking about it.....

 

write up on the install hehe

Taking out the clutch restrictor lets your clutch grip a lot harder and faster, thus resulting in faster 60' times. They say there are no drawbacks, but i'm guessing if it doesn't let your clutch annoying slip like its suppose to your going to go back to mitsubish for a transfer case/clutch sooner than later.

I'm curious whether this modification offers a real improvement in performance over stock? I mean, I could see there being a noticeable benefit on an older car where the rubber line was starting to break down. But on a newer car, does the rubber really "give" that much when using the clutch? Is the psi in the clutch system so high as to be able to bulge the stock line?

I could see the benefit on a higher heat application like brake lines, but for a clutch I'm wondering if it isn't more of a placebo effect?

 

Brake line pressures get up to around 1500 psi. I'm not sure about the clutch line. It doesn't seem like the clutch would get up as high since the slave cyilnder basically pushing against a spring. I'm sure enough pressure builds up in the line to make it expand.

I guess one way to test how much the stock line expands is to use a micrometer or caliper and measure the outside diameter of the stock clutch line at several points while it's at rest and when it's pressurized.

IMO, the shifting on our cars need all the help it can get to make it better. So why not change it? I seemed to notice a slight improvement after changing just the line.

 

I agree with the shifting (mainly the clutch feel) in our cars needing help. I have been considering the restrictor removal mod, but wasn't sure if I should also do the line as well. Marksae, did you remove the restrictor also, or just replace the line?
