Stainless braided clutch line

Just throwing this out there as an FYI.... I was skeptical about it at first, figuring that it wouldn't make much difference, and I still don't think it will on a stock clutch, but it makes a very tangible difference on an aftermarket one. I think it's due to the stiffer pressure plate requiring greater hydraulic pressure in the line, causing it to flex more with an after market clutch than OE.

Either way, it made a huge difference in pedal feel on my WW with the QM v2 it has. More consistent engagement point, more positive action. I'd imagine it had the same effect as stainless braided lines on your brakes (next up lol).

Not too hard to install, but not cake by any means. Gotta pull the battery/battery box out, intake off, and if you have short route uicp, you have to remove that too. Took me about 45 minutes.

Easy effective mod for 40 bucks from MAP.

For those who remember, I still have a "soggy" clutch pedal after installing the ACT HDSS clutch and am hoping that this line prevents the pedal from "sinking" about 1-1.5" between each shift.

Meaning I have to use my toe to pull the clutch pedal to the top of its throw, and yes, you can feel a bit of grind through the pedal when it sinks down, so it is slightly engaging
