Anyone with a 6spd ls1 fbody needs to get under the car get some tin foil atleast and wrap that line and tell me how your car responded and let me know.

If everyone gets possitive feed back from doing this, I realy think it should be a sticky I honestly think im going to get more life out of my clutch by doing this now. Like i said before i wish i did this simple wrapping along time ago.


​​​​​​​I just did it. Happy as can be, as I was about to redo my entire clutch assembly. Makes more difference than anyone would think.

I used a DEI spark plug wire sleeve to wrap the clutch line right at the closest point to my headers. It's been good since.

McMaster-Carr sells all kinds of insulating sleeving. Way cheaper than the stuff with the logos...
