Clutch Line Insulation Help.

scruffydog · 01-21-2013, 06:24 PM

So I ordered an Insulated Clutch line from The Z store, however I'm not sure if the supplied heat shield (in orange) is sufficient.

Any advice? Should I re-wrap it with the stock line? Will over application of heat shield be an issue?

Re-wrap it with the stock heat shielding. This is the standard practice for both 350 and 370z steel clutch line installs.

Yes reuse the OEM wrapping and wrap it again with more insulation.

Can never have enough insulation on the clutch line to keep the heat from the exhaust conducting heat to the clutch fluid.
