420A 420A MT Clutch Hydraulic Issues

I just ran across this for the fourth time in the last few years. Original images from 3+ years ago on the first encounter. If you're having issues bleeding the clutch hydraulic system or a spongy pedal feel, check here first. A kinked or collapsed master cylinder feed hose.

Also note that the stock spring clamps have superior sealing capabilities. I've broken a reservoir fitting by overtightening worm clamps.

Nice find, I couldn't get mine to bend like how the oem one. Did you use a fuel hose for a replacement?

Yea I always use reinforced fuel injection hose cut from a spool. The stock hose is curved but I've been able to replace them without kinks. You probably need to trim the piece if it's getting a kink.
