hey guys. i installed a braided early last week and started feeling a sort of a 'whooshing' feeling through the clutch pedal when changing gear at higher rpm. also, it almost sounds like a turbo dump valve (not BOV), if that makes sense. it's not really a squeaky noise.

i felt it after a day or two so not sure why it didn't happen right away. does anyone else with a braided clutch hose have this feeling? maybe it's normal? not sure if it is related or maybe it is another issue. i have no other syymptoms and have stock clutch. no other mods.

nobody else has a braided clutch hose?

im not trying to sound like an ass, but why did you get a stainless steel clutch line? theres absolutely no benefit from it since the clutch system isn't pressurized like the brake system is

sn0wman

it was only like 35 bucks so i was like why not.

Try bleed the fluid again.

sn0wman

will do that, thank you for your help. i did not notice any apparent change in pressure so wasnt sure if there was air in there

Yes try to bleed the line again. Did you change any clutch components or just the line?

sn0wman

thanks for the reply. no that was the onyl thing i changed. waiting for time off work to try to bleed fluid again.

I've heard some noise during use of the clutch, I just thought it was normal mechanical noise which is so prevalent on this vehicle. I've got a braided clutch line, but I've heard the noise in the past with the oem hose. I also had the noise with my old master cylinder and new master cylinder, old clutch and new clutch. The lines perfectly bled, and fresh fluid in the system at all times.

I'm anal about noises in my car as if each one is the end of the world (i'm weird...) and I don't have this noise at all
But JFUSION has helped me out with a lot of issues with my car and he's pretty much always been right so if he says don't worry about it, I would probably take it to the bank
