I have a 06 GTO and I recently put a GMM rip shifter in. Also a TEXTRALIA OZ700 clutch in it. The car has issues shifting fast into gears. Recomended with this is a steel braided clutch line. Bullshit Ausi company does not make a clutch line for the GTO but only there cars(how convieniant). Who makes and where can I get this part so I do not have to grany shift my car down the 1/4?

Well I finally found one, I contacted Andrew at Marylandspeed and he told me a company by the name of gtfabrications.com has one, I now just have to wait untel Cali is awake.

does your clutch pedal feel spongy at all. if so, you may have a bad master cylinder. if not you should try a drill mod. you take the clutch line off and drill the hole going into the master out to i think 1/8 inch but not 100% sure. there is a sticky on the drill mod that gives you a step by step. i used it like 7 months ago and it helped tremendously.

yes i have read it, i do not think its the issue though, I got clean passes the first week then started getting harder and harder after that. The rubber line is recommended to be replaced after the GMM rip shifter, causes it to become soft and hard to shift into gear.

well id probly try the braided line first. if it persists then its more than likely a master issue.

I don't see how a different material for the braided line would help resolve that issue unless you're having the so-called "boiled fluid" issue where the line gets too heated and boils the clutch fluid, causing shifting issues. Regardless, I'd replace it anyways like you plan on doing just to make sure, but I'd also fully gravity bleed the master separately, going through about half a bottle or more of fluid, and then the entire system as a whole. You may also want to look into an adjustable master cylinder (I'm not sure if anyone makes them for the GTO ). I'd try the new line and a FULL gravity bleed first and test the results. The pedal should definitely not get spongy or soft after WOT runs and it should shift into gear smoothly even at very high RPMs (I have an OZ700 Z-grip, btw).

I ordered the line with a heat sheild amont a remote bleeder, I will also be using the motule fluid good for 600+ and replacing the slave, of that does not do the trick I just dont know.

I would look into the Tick Adjustable Master if the braided line does not work.

streetsurfinseth

yeah if it is not the line then it is probably the master.

Tripintaz

I thought the salves came with braided lines and the masters had solid metal lines?

06black6spd

NO, I wish, I think all hi-po clutch cars wished that

Ya if this does not work, we will find out next spring and ill replace the slave and the master at that point. If that does not work Ill just go auto, hahha

Tripintaz

Guess only Vettes do then.

The LS6 Slave is a braided line and the Z06 master is a solid metal line.
