All Stainless Steel Clutch Line

[tim_korn_99]

I've got the motor and tranny completely out of my car. While it is all out and easy to work on, i am doing numerous things that will save me a few headaches down the line. One thing that used to give me problems, was the clutch system. After looking at how much of a mess the metal bent line was that runs from the Master Cylinder to the Slave Cylinder, i am thinking about replacing that whole line with a nice stainless steel braided line.
Are there any problems in doing this? I know there is a little canister lookin thing on the front of the tranny that the metal line goes into, then it runs to the slave. What exactly does that do? And can i just bypass it?
So basically, i want it to go like this.....Master Cylinder ----->Stainless Braided Line----->Slave Cylinder. Nice and simple.
Thanks
-Tim

You might be able to find SS hard lines that you can use to replace the stock steel ones. I was able to find "by the foot" SS line at an Advance Auto Parts store. For the SS braded line I hit up RRE and got their Long line which removes that gheto surge tank from the rubber hose factory section.

The net result is a very firm clutch peddle that is very responsive.
