HELP!?!?!? I need to fine a hydralic line??
I have had clutch problems and I think its because of my headers heating up the hydralic line (don't know which one) which boils it and creates the air that makes my clutch stick. So i was going to try and find this line so I could put up some sort of heat shield, where do i find this line at???? I have the car jacked up right now!!! help!!!

I wrapped mine in some 3/8" fuel line, then wrapped that in aluminum tape. After all that was done it wouldnt fit under that little stock heat shield, so I took a sheet of aluminum and made my own. The new heat sheild is much bigger and covers the line from pretty much the master all the way to the slave.

I used the 3/8 line as well. I reshaped the heat shield to wrap around the new fatter line. Even after doing this though, with my old clutch setup in hot weather it was still a bitch at times. Usually by the 3-4 shift the pedal was getting close to the floor.
With my new setup, TEXtralia, new slave, and Valvoline Synpower fluid, it is awesome! No trouble whatsoever. So it could be more than just the line getting hot, flush out the old fluid and give the Valvoline a try, worth a shot for sure!
