I'm planning a clutch upgrade soon. I have consulted almost every vendor, manufacturer, and tuner on this board and it is about 60/40 in favor of leaving the restrictor in. Not really definitive? I'm looking for opinions and experiences with this mod.

 

SS clutch line installed and restrictor removed. Definite improvement. Not huge, but I do find controlling the clutch when launching the car to be easier now.

 

^^^ What he said - One caution though; with the restrictor removed, sidestepping (dumping) the clutch would be considered a very bad idea. Without the restrictor it is easier to damage the car through abuse.

 

Since there's that caution why not leave it in and add the stainless line?

 

A definate improvment, and I feel a key reason my clutch has lasted 17,000+ miles.

 

do it. it feels a lot better.

 

I actually have done both with my car, and I have about 23K on my stock clutch. I posted the warning to be sure people understand that removing the restrictor can transfer considerably more shock to your driveline (mostly transmission and front and center diffs) if you aren't careful. I would recommend leaving the restrictor in if you haven't had at least a couple of years driving a clutch.

 

Cool. I was just wondering. Might have to look into doing that then. I already have the line(although not installed yet).

 

I plan on chageing my clutch this weekend.. What is the clutch restrictor? And what does it do...
