Default Attn SW soon to be F.I. guys...

With all the heat with turbo's, from mine and Kevin's experience, I would highly recommend a stainless steel clutch line. Here's the installation we did this weekend...

How difficult was the install? How long did it take you?

No, but I had some clutch issues at PMP this weekend. It only happened after about 4-5 hot laps, and the clutch would get really soft and mushy, and once I couldn't even get it to disengage. I think the rubber line was heating up, and when it was hot, it expanded too much.

How in the heck did you get that bracket off? I can't seem to disengage the line from the bracket, or the bracket from the chasis?????
