Angry hydraulic clutch line

From begining to end. I installed a moster stage iii with light weight flywheel. Followed all spec accurately. During break in period, shifter began slightly grinding into gear. Problem got worse and worse till my clutch would no longer engage. Had to turn car off and start in first and go.( woke a lot of people up screaming down the road @ 5000 rpms to get home). One guy is insisting its my clutch disk. Another insisting its air in the lines. (both certified master mechanics). So i replaced my clutch master cylinder to eliminate one possiblity. Big problem i am having now is i wanted to replace the o-ring on the hydraulic line into the slave too. My dumbass lost the o-ring. So my main issue is really, what size is the o-ring and is it a special kind of o-ring? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

You could go to a bearing wholesaler and buy an "o-ring kit" that will have multiple sizes? I cant say for certain but as long as the old one was rubber it should work.

Hate to say it but that's pretty much what happened to mine. The clutch center came apart. Hope that's not your issue but sounds alot like I just went through.

Ethylene-Propylene- Also known as EP,EPDM,Nordel. This is used in many applications involving nonpetroleum fluids.
It has excellent ozone& steam resistance and is used with brake fluids and nonflammable "safety" hydraulic fluids up thru 300°F (400°F in steam). Steam sterilizers are a popular application. Hardness range of 50 thru 80A
