Re: [DML] plastic clutch line syndrome?

Jeff,

You asked:
"Is there truth to this rumor....?

Absolutely not! The suggestion may have been to change the two hydraulic components on either end of the clutch line (master and slave cylinder) not the entire clutch system.

All,

Regarding the below message on the plastic clutch line- I have the 
plastic clutch line also but have been 'living' with it because I 
have read/heard that it is a fairly major operation to have the line 
replaced and that when doing it you might as well put in a whole new 
clutch also. Is there truth to this rumor or is it possible to just 
swap out the plastic line for the steel one? Any insights/experiences 
welcome!

Sincerely,
Jeff
