Replacing Clutch Line

I have searched, and was unable to come up with any info. Has anyone had any experience with replacing the clutch line with a SS Line?

If so, please let me know how, and how the system was bled?

Thanks

i didnt mine when i pulled my motor. i put the ss line in before i put the motor in. its easy to change and bleed. there is a bleeder valve just like on a brake caliper and u do it the same way by pumping the clutch pedal.

hey to answer your question its very very simple to change out your clutch line...the nasty foil covered rubber tube one with a SS braided one like i did. i just recently did a whole lot of tranny **** but that was by far one of the easiest things with the headers being the hardest.anyways get under ur car however you prefer (i used a lift but you might not have access to one like i do so jacks will do) go under the driverside and look for the clutch slave cylinder bolted on the side of the tranny if its an 05 or below. disconnect the line from it then disconnect the other end by sliding the bracket holding it it off and unscrewing the line coming from the clutch master cylinder.but make sure before you do all that you disconnect the clutch resivouir from the clutch master cylinder first by sliding the tubing off with pliers of some sort. thats basically it. the rest is basically self explainitory. i basically broke it down barney style anyways though.but when it comes to bleeding you use a fluid pump and pump flud through the lines with the bleed valve open and keep pumping until there is no air in the system (no bubbles or gaps in the fluid...aka smooootttthhh fluid flow like your taking a ****....unless you got a p**sy.) let me know if you have any more questions.

would your average daily driver notice any difference in performance or pedal feel?

yeh if you dont get a SS braided line with an upgraded clutch and components you would have a spongy feel to the clutch. It makes the clutch more.....hmm......precise....? should i say....but yeh. Its noticable and i reccommend it with a clutch upgrade.

You bleed it just like you would brakes. It takes a lot longer though. Just keep going. You'll know you are getting close when the clutch stops sticking to the floor.

Much better pedal feel with the SS line. Make sure to reuse the heat shielding. You don't want your clutch fluid to overheat under there. Exhaust is pretty close. Wouldn't be a bad idea to upgrade the heat shielding either.
