Not sure why you are breaking clutch lines. Stainless steel may be stronger than OEM rubber, but it does not answer the question why?

There are no clutch fluid pressure specs, but improper operation of clutch hydraulic system may result in excessive pressure.

Buy a new hose from someone else, since these guys obviously don't know how to make one properly.

Something is wrong for you to go through 2 lines..

Do you have aftermarket headers?
How is clutch engagement? Does your transmission grind?
