this might be a dumb question, but why would a restrictor be necessary?
In a brake application, it would impede the function of ABS pulsating the brake.
In a clutch application it would as people have noticed, make the pedal feel inconsistent and delay clutch action.
Is it to reduce frothing from fluid rushing back too fast?
Most folks who have upgrade to a braided stainless line report smoother and more consistent clutch pedal feel. As expected, a lot of the consistency is due to the stiffer walls of a stainless braided hose but these replacement lines also eliminate the hard line that goes between the stock flex hose and the slave.
What is the purpose of this short section of hard line? (i guess the same question should be asked about the way the brakes lines are connected to our calipers - why is there a need for a short hard line between the rubber hose and the caliper?
