5-Speed owners: Replace your OEM clutch...
cause they suck!
Well...I bought new clutch lines from Nissan around 6 months ago ($60). My old lines were letting fluid out and I finally went to replace them today. A simple 15 minute job turned into 3 hours. If you have ever done the job you know the little block I am talking about. I would tighten it down as tight as possible and it would still shoot fluid out. Went to the autoparts and bought new washers, still leaked, doubled them up, still leaked...me and my dad tried everything possible and could not get a seal, who knows why.
I bought a SS clutch line from Derrick a while back, it was for my 3rd gen. I finally got sick of jacking with this block/line OEM set up. I grabbed the SS line from my 3rd gen, which is slightly longer and it worked like a champ, no leaks and put it on in 10 minutes. Derricks lines are awesome AND cheap! I paid $60 for this POS OEM lines and Derricks are less than $30 shipped. They replaced the crappy block and make it one solid line, this is no sales plug for him. Just really want to save any owners from dealing with this in the future. Go ahead and spend the cash now and get that SS line for the future, they rock! OEM sucks for double the money.
I tried to keep this thread short cause I know when people open long threads they get turned off, but I had to vent.
Here is the link to his GD on the lines, do yourself a favor for CHEAP! They also look sweet when you pop the hood and are stronger and just a TON better for half the price.![Big Grin](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
