    Default AE86 20V clutch line HOTTTTTT!!!!!!

    Got a problem with my clutch line running too close to the exhaust and when i thrash the car my clutch becomes sloppy and sometimes crunches gears due to the heat given off the exhaust and the line becoming hot.

    I have been told if i get a JDM bellhousing that the slave cylinder will be on the other side???

    Is this correct???

    Let me know

    Thanks

    another solution is to run good brake fuild .. something with a high temp rating .. and maybe braided line . and also heat wrap exhuast manifold closest to the clutch slave cylinder.

    my mate has a set of kaizen extractors, those TRD copies and he had a similar problem, we couldn't even get the clutch line on at all.

    here it is:



    now this is my car, which uses a standard JDM exhaust manifold and headers, it wasnt as bad, as you can see it fits quite well, though not optimal.



    for both setups we got what is called a banjo fitting, which is the same thing that is used on some brake calipers.

    as shown here,



    that bolt has a hole that runs through the middle of it, and allows the fluid to pass through. and here is the setup with the banjo fitting fitted:



    as you can see the profile of the system is much smaller, i dont have a picture of my mates final setup, but it fit very nicely.

    so go to a hydraulic shop and get a Banjo fitting!

    same problem with mine, im running just a braided line and it is pretty good, the clutch does feel a little less harse when it warms up but not as bad as what it could have been if we used the standard clutch line.

    You could also heat rap the exhaust manifold , to reduce the temperature getting onto the slave cylinder

    JB4154 slave clyinder works too. it has the clutch line fitting at the end oppisite the pushrod. May need a bit of line bending to be optimal tho.

    Otherwise go for the banjo fitting. they can be scabbed for free of old hilux master cylinders. Sometimes they dont fit all the way in in aftermarket slaves tho.

    don't run dot 4 fluid in your clutch master it ruins the seals

    they have different rubbers in them to the brake stuff

    Thanks for the help guys.

    I'll give the banjo bolt and a braided line a go and see how it goes.

    Cheers
