love mine

its nice b/c it bypasses the stupid clutch dampner box, or whatever the hell it is, really easily....

just get one to be cool

What's the purpose of the clutch dampner?

thx247 · 08-07-2004, 10:22 AM

Didn't notice any difference at all. Not surprised in the least. Only reason I got it was to bypass the dampner box, and thats because the boxes fittings were hella stripped and I could only remove the fitting on the hardline going to the box.

In hindsight I've never needed to bleed my clutch after doing it once...so I would probably never bypass the box again. Unless I wanted some of those fittings for the brake master cylinder again...

DO IT TO BE COOL!

I felt a difference for sure. I woudl do it again in a heartbeat. For the price of the clutch line its worth the feel alone. However its easier to bleed/fluch the slave; but its not like its done very often anyway.

Just sell the dampner to someone for $22, make yoru money back on the clutch line and enjoy

Sell the damper? Riiiight, someone will buy that... I didn't really notice a difference when I changed the line and bypassed the damper. I do like how it's easier to bleed though.

Wow, you are so wise is you half sentence statement. I almost believe you with all the facts you have to backup your statement.

I know, give me a educated explanation as to why this might happen?

*crioten* · 08-08-2004, 01:17 AM

PLUS...

the fact that noone has ever complained about that heppening...

and why in the hell would it...you push too hard on your clutch? naw...

What? I can get as many $25(+Shipping) braided stainless steel clutch lines as anybody needs. Seriously.
Also, I just converted to manual with my pending SR swap, and used a braided stainless steel line from reseviour(?) on firewall to slave cylinder. $50(+Shipping) to whoever needs them. Hit me up.
I'll let everybody know if I brake slave cylinders.

i know several drifters which have replaced the box that go to Englishtown NJ to drift, not a single person has complained yet..

Are you possitive it was caused by adding a Steel Braided Line?

andrave · 08-10-2004, 01:25 AM

I just ordered one for 28 shipped from spl parts (didn't think to check group buy) because I ripped my stock one during a swap and needed a replacment.
