Much cheaper than the OEM replacement. It seems to be a common problem with 4th gen 5 spds. I really like mine.

Did you guys that have this get it from the group deal that was going on or if not, what was your source? Did it replace both the rubber lines or just one of them? The line coming off the slave cylinder is leaking on mine.

Got mine from the GD... Love it! the price is really good. Supposedly many tried to replace both rubber lines with it but had problems so people jstarted just replacing the upper rubber hose... However, I replaced both rubber lines with mine with out a problem... Hell, I had lenght to spare!! Its all in the GD thread.

$25 shipped in the group deal; I was one of the first to get it back in November. It's a high quality Technafit line. It does indeed replace BOTH rubber clutch lines as well as the stupid junction box between them. If you only replace one of the rubber lines, you will still have a lot of flex in the system. Replace both.

It made a small but noticeable difference in clutch feel. Don't expect a huge change.

im reading that a few people said the line was to short. also the deal was for only 1 line. what do you mean upper and lower lines-its ok to replace just 1 with ss?

Yes, just one line is needed, just make sure you tell him what year Maxima you have. Line length problems were fixed long ago, should be a perfect fit.

Look in the GD forum. SS clutchline for 95-01 maximas.

The first batch was originally intended to just replace one line I think. When I bought mine in the first batch it was a tad short to reach the bracket on the frame so I just bent the hard line (brake type hard lines do have some flexability). It was far too long to replace only one and maybe 1/2" short to replace both. Now the length is fixed and it meant to replace both.

With any stock or stage 1 clutch don't expect a huge difference in feeling, but it should be much more reliable than the stock rubber line that likes to leak after a while. If it ain't broke then I wouldn't replace it unless you were doing a swap.

You can get one for a 3rd gen. At least you could. I have one and so does MrGone. I think some others have it, too. I just haven't gotten around to installing mine
