    UUC Clutch line install Question

    Ok I can't take laying on my back with hair full of brake fluid...

    So I take it to the forum.The UUC Brake line sits between the hard line coming from the master cylinder and the hard line going to the slave cylinder or does it connect directly to the slave? I can't get the smaller fitting to stop leaking when connect to a either hard line.

    Thanks and my car thanks you before I end up taking a large hammer to it in frustration.

    Directly to the slave cylinder.

    Thanks, it makes sense now that I think about it. Enough time under the car and, frustration and logic quickly become inveresed... Does the slave have to come out?

    I would imagine that you got this figured out already, but I didn't have to take the slave cylinder off of the tranny. It is a pain to get it started into it, but it will go. I then put on the pressure bleeder and it blead the clutch. First press on the clutch and it fell to the floor, but I just lifted it back up and then it was fine.
