Lulz the T/O bearing is getting even worse and I can't justify taking everything apart to replace it only to have to take it all out for the swap. Don't laugh when I show up grinding/missing gears and have a horrible clutch squeal.

I cant really blame you, but just be careful. When are you doing the swap?

Well I'm buying a FPR and some secondaries, and will probably have the primaries sent out to be cleaned/rebuilt/flow tested, all I really have left is deciding on which clutch I wantz0rz.... So many choices that I don't really know or care anymore

Looks like I won't make it to this one. Replacing clutch hydraulics and lines this weekend. Shouldn't take too long, but I have a question.
Already sourced the MC, slave, and SS flex line from slave to firewall bracket..... where can you get the hardline that runs from the MC to the firewall bracket? The line is rusted tight on the MC. I figured I'd replace it since I've already started to replace everything else.
Anyone know where to get these online? Mazdatrix does not offer one for the FC. Perhaps one of you have one lying around (in good condition, of course)?!?
Thanks!

BTW, ran into someone at work in the parking garage who has a black '91, original owner. I invited her out to the meet, but that was before my hydraulics went out. If she shows up, say hello.

If it takes you all day to do this then "tisk tisk" I did it a month-ish ago. You might wanna get a new throwout bearing ready too if your car seems to be following my car's current path of having everything drivetrain related slowly failing one after another starting from the front of the car and working its way back.

This has been a bad month for me! First I smash my aero side mirror (luckily I found a replacement quickly... didn't realize how bad the blind spot can be w/o mirrors), then after correcting a HORRIBLE timing issue on my beater, the clutch hydraulics go out on the 7!! F* ME!!

Turns out mazdatrix can get me the hardline... but due to insufficient demand, they haven't listed it on their site. Waiting to hear pricing....

I'm sure after all the hydraulics are replaced, then I'll really notice all the other drivetrain problems

But since you're an expert on it now... maybe you'd like to lend a hand?? haha

I would but I have an unofficial date Saturday afternoon. The only thing that pissed me off was the fact that I had to unbolt the Trailing coils to be able to fully remove the M/C.

What? That took me literally 45 seconds to do the other night... and THAT was the only thing that pissed you off? I'm hoping to have that much ease with it all.

Oh BTW, mazdatrix posted their clutch hardlines for the FC. Much cheaper than I thought! Its going to be like christmas around my house the next week.... parts arriving all week!

I'm sick of loading this page and seeing a brand new haltech in packaging!
