Get the billet piston one Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89738-clutch-gone-completely-soft/page/2/#findComment-1517828 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes from the master cylinder to the CSC. So box outCall Mal wood and get the new line (braided). A bleeder line. And a new alloy CSC with billet piston Edited 17/12/14 05:38 AM by arronm Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89738-clutch-gone-completely-soft/page/2/#findComment-1518018 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rang Ford and they want $240 just for the line, no thanks.

Cut the line at the break. Put in a barb joiner and 2 hose clamps and fix it after XmasThis way you don't need to take the box out twice Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89738-clutch-gone-completely-soft/page/2/#findComment-1518062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
