I was going over the clutch line installation today, and it seems like my brand new lines from nissan were not bent correctly. I went and verified the part numbers at the dealership, but when I went to put the line in from the master cylinder, it doesn't seem to fit correctly, not to mention their isn't a whole lot of space to work in that area. Any ideas? Thanks in advacnce.

 

That was the hardest part of the conversion to me. I got so frustrated that I only hooked up the line that went to the slave cylinder. But as far as the one to the master cylinder, yeah it took a long time, but just try all angles.

 

I tried about 10 different ways, and their is no way to make it fit without bending it, at least from all the angles Ive tried...

 

Try and get stainless steel clutch lines, they are more expensive but the overall feel is a lot better. Easier for the install too.

They are mostly metal lines, I believe stainless steel, their are only two rubber lines, and those are to deal with the flexing of the transmission/engine under acceleration...

 

I just bent them out of shape until they fit. Never had a problem.

 

Okay, I can do that. I was just worried about weakening the lines from bending them around, and I don't want them rubbing on anything and wearing through eventually...
