Just curious if anyone has done the ams ss lower clutch line with their clutch upgrade. Did you feel a difference with maybe the standard ss upper clutch line. thanks

I take it this removes the "pill" in the clutch line as well. I wonder if this is keeping me from shifting quickly from 1-2 since the clutch is slower to disengage.

I'm curious to know this as well, as I already have the SS upper line, and removed the pill

I have the full s.s. clutch line from AMS. Along with the ACT clutch and flywheel and my pedal feel is solid and always the same. If you got a weak ankle i wouldnt recommend it.

i changed mine to a techna-fit stainless line mainly cause i have had many friends being im-mobile cause of a busted rubber line

the pedal feels more predictable as was said above which is a bonus to not having to worry about a busted line

The upper section of the line makes the difference in pedal feel, the stock lower line being solid there is no room for it to expand so there will be no performance change with it. However, having basically a race setup car with no balance shafts and making a lot of power I broke 3 lower clutch lines and went with the AMS braided lower line as soon as it was released. I have had no issues what so ever since, and it was well worth the investment. The stock solid lower line always broke at the very worst time making it very difficult to get the car home.


sslevo,

The restrictor is located in the slave cylinder and takes all of 30 seconds to remove it, but you will have to bleed the clutch line to get the clutch to function properly afterwards. I recommend a speed bleeder to make life easier.

Ahh, ok. Thanks for the info! I'll look into that a bit more.
