i have the russell one. The install is terrible and honestly, i didn't notice a difference. I would recommend removing the clutch pill in lieu of the clutch line. That was a bigger, and better, difference in clutch response and feel.

I've had really good experiences with Speed-Source products. I also like TechnaFit for their SS lines. I do agree with MR Turco above though.

I have a WORKS SS clutch line. I agree with everyone else. This install Was AWFUL... Make sure you have someone with you that has small hands. Thank god for my girlfriend.. And for the fact she is a better mechanic than me. She was able to fit her hand in that god awful spot. also make sure you route the cable correctly test fit the battery tray. I made this mistake and was a royal pain in the A$$.. and I double the point to remove the restricter pill.. Also upgrade your shift linkage bushings if you have not while you are in there. Good luck.

Its inside the clutch slave cylinder. Remove the bleeder nipple and the fluid line from the slave and poke out the little plastic pill with a small allen wrench.

I have my WORKS SS Line as stated... I recommend it. Better? I think with this Its more about the install than the SS line. they are all pretty much the same.

Gotcha, isnt there two different lines that can be changed for the clutch lines? I know the one that runs to the master cylinder is one of them (could someone list a link to one) and the other one which im not really sure where to find it

AMS sells both the upper and lower lines.

Oh and make sure you have extra fluid to bleed the clutch if you don't use a speed bleeder. Took me a few tries....

I actually found a clutch line that replaces the whole clutch line without spending double the money on getting two seperate lines. It is made by alamo motor sports.
