i have the extended warranty to 90k miles but the dont cover clutches. i went over to jakes house and we may have found a contributing culprit. the shop that put it in ran the braided line down in the engine bay instead of along factory line, well by doing this is puts the line no more than 3 inches from the header, i bet the fluid is boiling (kinda explains why it gets worse when i drive some) i am going to heavily lean on them that they need to reroute it for free, and have them put the motul in since they will have to drain it all out when the reroute the line

yeah not happy. and wondering if the heat (if boiling) could possibly mess up the master or slave. going to drive to my moms house next couple of days, and after driving 30+ minutes take temp reading off the header with infrared thermometer. the shop charged me 95 to run the lines when it took them 5 min to snake through engine bay

so i just read that the cloudy dirty look, like mine is, is caused by chemical breakdown from heat....

I would definitely make that shop re-route that line for free ! That's BS !

so after talking to zspeed and showing him pics of how they routed the line he was like WTF, and that i prob did boil it.....going to run by that shop later today, get managers name, his bosses name, and all that good stuff, going above the guy that is there head. they should have know placing that line so close to manifold would jack stuff up

so i went there and was the nicest *** i could be. i asked him what fluid and he said dot 3, and then i asked what is the boiling point of dot 3.. he said around 400, i then asked why they would run a line of something that boils at 400 next to something that can get over a 1000. i got a weird look, then we talked about when he called me asking if i wanted to pull the factory lines out and i voted against it due to cost, but i told him that i assumed it would be ran along factory lines for what they charged, not a 10 min route down the engine bay. after everything that i said, he agreed with all the problems i am having it was due to them running the line half assed. i ordered the rbf600 and it should be here friday or monday so they will be fixing their mess up the first part of next week

Travis I 'm glad they are gonna fix the problem they screwed up on.
My friend has 3 bottles of RBF600 at his house....you can use those and replace it it you don't want to wait.
