IF you find one, let me know. Definitely want one.

yes there is- I have one on my car.

go talk to technafit I got mine through technafit through a local vendor when I did my swap. unfortunately, the vendor is no longer around.

I don't know if technafit carries it anymore, but you can try...I'd presume that if they've done it once, they can do it again.

Also, you can try looking at lines from other toyotas that may fit as well

i just called them and they said they can have it made. all i need to do is provide them with the length and what type of connector is on the end.

Chris Crash · 12-09-2010, 03:39 PM

Get two made so I can have one

dorifuto.boi · 12-09-2010, 03:50 PM

ugh i need one by next week but i don't even wanna go downstairs to my car and measure the line and see what kind of ends the line has.

its like -2 celcius (what thats like 30 farenheit ?) and im in short sleeves in my dorm room lol

Chris Crash · 12-09-2010, 03:58 PM

Yeah I could use one soon too. haha. Which part exactly are you replacing? The entire line? Or just part of it? I think an entire one from the slave to master cylinder would be good to avoid that pesky (and broken on mine) connection on top of the trans.

Let me know what price you get and see if they'll lower the price if you get two made. If so, buy two and let me know I'll pay you the difference.

^ I wouldn't use an entire braided line, personally

just replace the one from the transmission to the master cylinder

I don't think the braided lines are still as flex-proof as the actual solid lines. if you're having problems wit the hard lines on top of the tranny, just replace them with over the counter hard brakelines

Chris Crash · 12-09-2010, 08:07 PM

^ I'm having problems with the junction between the hard and soft lines. The connector on the hard line has stripped out pretty well.

dorifuto.boi · 12-09-2010, 08:09 PM

whats that block that the clutch line goes into. that block which i speak of is between the slave and the master. closer to the slave. right next to the transmission (or is it on top of the transmission)

Chris Crash · 12-09-2010, 08:27 PM

That's what I'm talking about, the junction/bracket where my male end is stripped.

You could just measure the threads then send the measures to the company. Then I guess custom make a bracket? Or maybe you can get the soft rubber hose out of the bracket, and slide the SS line in?

***Eye8Pussies*** · 12-09-2010, 09:14 PM

that is known as the accumulator, and it's supposed to make the clutch feel a bit softer and "nicer" to use according to some people

I haven't really felt the difference when I bypassed mine...but then again, I'm comparing my fidanza with stage 3 flywheel and braided steel line to bone stock 5-speed camrys

you can run a hard line straight from the soft-line off of the master cylinder to the slave cylinder. theoretically, the best feel you can get is with ALL hardline, but since the motor rocks, there has to be a soft line somewhere around the firewall area (thus, the soft line between off of the master cylinder).

take a look at my swap tip page in regards to replacing the line:

First EVER Gen 3 Supercharged V6 5-Speed!! (Swap Hints and Tips) 56K = No go.

you can use 3/16" x 20" flared hard brake line in place of it

Chris Crash · 12-09-2010, 09:39 PM

I hate the "soft" pedal feel! I want my clutch to be nice and firm.

So the SS line should go from the master cylinder to the accumulator? And from there I should get a new hard line to fix the stripped flare nut?

***Eye8Pussies*** · 12-09-2010, 09:43 PM

hey, no....the best way is to copy the original set up as much as possible

I ran a hard line from the slave cylinder up past the accumulator, and then had it stick up right around where the original hard line came up to- right above the shifter arms area and pointed up

if you check my thread and picture, the length that I used was a 20" line to go from the slave to above the tranny towards the master cylinder

then get a braided line to replace the soft line that is the exact same length

dorifuto.boi · 12-09-2010, 09:53 PM

omg maybe i should bypass this 'accumulator' maybe that thing is shot and is causing my stupid inconssistancies ?
