you mean stainless clutch line? It's not going to affect feel much, if that's what you're thinking. jscspeed has one for 20 dollars.

The stainless steel clutch line is a good addition for anyone with an aftermarket clutch.

very good mod, and pretty darn cheap. Probably one of the simplest mods you can make, and it definately improves the clutch feel. We have kevlar lines if you need em.

Best of luck.

What is the advantage of kevlar over ss steel?

No no the line is still stainless steel braided. All SS lines have different types of cores. This one has a teflon core with Kevlar reinforcement to prevent it from breaking. Then theres SS braidind over that and this particular line has heat wrap over that.

What's the best way to access the clutch line? I've been thinking about doing this.

all stainless clutch lines have a teflon core - its nothing special or unique. The Kevlar I suppose is something different, but since the line is so short on this car and takes no dramatic bends, as long as its well made, it should never crack.

We have em in stock for $25 shipped - stainless braided with a teflon inner core, that is wrapped in a clear protective cover so rocks and debris won't ruin the braid. You can easily reuse the stock heatwrap, as its held on with zip ties.

Agreed. And I haven't had an issue with my clutch since installing that and flushing in the Elf Frelub 650
