Dave6188 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 So I bled my clutch out 3 months ago as it felt a bit spongey, I used Motul RBF600 fluid, it felt better afterwards. Check all of my fluids regularly and noticed clutch fluid looks like crap again ! Gone dark in colour. Question is will a braided insulated clutch hose help cure this or make the clutch feel any better ? I noticed the line runs close to the exhaust so must get a lot of heat soak. Anyone done this and noticed a difference at all ? HR Z if it makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Yes, a braided line is essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave6188 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Can you feel a difference through the pedal after fitting one Alex ? Trying to make the clutch & trans feel as smooth as possible. Who supplys them ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) The reason for a braided line is to help stop the fluid from boiling, which in turn will give you a firmer clutch pedal. CMS would be your best bet.

colesl4w Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Agreed with Alex. I replaced my fluid and line as my pedal would become loose/biting point would get really low on a hot day while sitting in traffic. Not a single problem after getting those changed.

Dave6188 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Just ordered a braided, insulated hose from Clark Motorsport and some more Motul RBF600, If I get a chance I will fit & bleed at weekend and post results incase anyone else is curious or thinking of doing the same thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave6188 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Of course Alex, you should be a sales rep for Clark Motorsport, either that or suggest commission lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave6188 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Got hold of a braided/insulated hose from Clark Motorsport all in cost £31.00 delivered and some more Motul RBF600, fitted the new hose on my driveway in the pouring rain with my dad sat in the car pumping the clutch pedal whilst I used a Vacuum Bleed to get any air out. Drove the car with no noticeable difference whatsoever, not took it for a long run yet to get it properly upto temperature where hopefully fitted the new hose should pay dividends, well here's hoping anyway !

Dave6188 Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Took the car on a proper run out today, mixed conditions from backroads to motorway to traffic and the clutch now has a consistent biting point even when fully upto temperature,can't ask anymore from a product, exactly what I was after. Fluid should wear a lot better aswell as it's kept a lot cooler. Definitely worthwhile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
