Stainless Clutch Line Install question. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I just purchased the Agency Power Clutch line:

This is all that it came with. When I went to remove the factory rubber hose I noticed that there was a copper crush washer used on the line where it connects to the slave cylinder. My Stainless line did not come with this - Do I need to use one? I thought I would need it, so I installed this line with the oem crush washer, bleed the system and the next day I looked under my car and found that it's leaking at that point!!

Any ideas?

Never reuse crush washers bro. Change it.

just go to any auto store and ask for a crush washer that fits.

I did use a new OEM gasket, but I guess it doesn't fit the agency power line because it's a little smaller.

So I guess my question is there suppose to be a gasket there with this stainless line?

yea

so go to the store and find one that fits

why didnt you just get the long one to connect directly from the master to the slave? i think both lines costs about the same...

The braided lines have flex in them. The factory hard line is the best, but you need a little flex in the line so nothing brakes - that's why I just got the short braided line.
