[DML] Re: Clutch / Shifting Problems

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like you're still using the original plastic clutch line. Not
only is it old under the best of circumstances, but is routed adjacent
to the A/C high side (HOT!). Becomes soft and expands rather than
forcing fluid through to the slave cylinder (just like an old brake
flex line).

Buy an upgraded teflon/braided clutch line from your vendor of choice.
A bit more expensive than making your own, but plug & play convenience.
