I've got to change my clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, t/o bearing, clutch, and resurface my flywheel soon. I have to drop the trans for inspection soon because of a gear oil leak and 2 yrs wear on components. My clutch is slipping because...

a) Worn master cyl
b) Gear oil on clutch
c) Worn clutch
or
d) A combination

My push rod lock nut worked loose and it adjusted all the way out. This might have caused the premature wear as well...

Anyways, thats not the issue (I'll figure it out when my hand heals and I can have a look see). What is the best dot 3 brake fluid to use in this system? So far I have only used auto store brand x. And it doesnt seem to be holding up to the added pressures of a ACT street disk/heavy duty pressure plate combo. Can I use royal purple or anything else synthetic? Also, who makes a SS braided clutch line?

Thanks,

Fugi

 

You can get a SS clutch line from Matt93SE / www.mattblehm.com

I believe (but don't quote on me on this) that it cost $25 shipped.

I use Castrol GT LMA brake fluid in my clutch and brake master cylinder. Very high quality product, you can't go wrong.
