I went through 3 of them awhile building pressure up ie. bleeding It when It exploded and my mechanic went through 2 of them. At the time, their were to many varibles (the whole Clutch System was replaced with new and upgraded parts) at the time to Immediately decipher the s.s Clutch Line was the clogged up. Right out of thr freaken package!!!
Don't get freaked out. By bad fortune, I was 1 In a 1000.

I just bought the same clutch as you but haven't got a chance to put it in yet. How do you like it?
Also does the S.S. Clutch Line make the clutch harder to push??

shouldn't make it harder to push. it will make it feel more "connected" basically because your pedal push will go all towards pushing the clutch thinger instead of towards ballooning your rubber line. (laymans terms :P)

Why is the pressure in the SS line any different than the OE rubber line? Once the clutch is depressed equilibrium is reached. It takes the same line pressure to release the clutch whether it's a SS line or a rubber line. The initial feel will be differernt, true, as the rubber will balloon whereas the SS will not but I have to disagree that adding a SS line results in blown master and slave cylinders. Adding a HD pressure plate is more likely the reason for blown master or slave cylinders NOT the SS line. Similarly adding SS brake lines does not result in blown master cylinders. And this is with line pressures orders of magnitude higher than what the clutch line sees.

I R SAD PANDA W/O BAW
the fc i just bought last night supposedly had SS brake lines installed. How could I tell if I should replace the clutchmaster/slave cylinder. The car has 72k on it.
Are there any telltale signs that would be noticable or any tests that can be performed?

i have had the ss clutch line for about 2½ months now, no problems whatsoever...
it makes the clutch feel more connected..ie, when you push in clutch, it disengages quicker instead of lagging (because of the expanding rubber line, fluid takes longer to reach clutch and act on it)
good upgrade for $20, but not more than that

I defer to the above...if the cylinder or slave give way with the addition of a SS clutch line...it was on it's way out anyway and needed replacing, SS line or not.
FWIW got my $18.00 SS line from Corksport for my FC.
Also have had SS clutch line on my FD for 2 years now
with HD pressure plate and clutch disc. No issues with original master and slave cylinders on either car.
