hard line from slave cylinder, fittings Q?

[253.Asmo]

Went to bleed the clutch, realized how much of a pita it is, decided I would remove the damper and head to Williams oil filter in tacoma to have a clutch line made up in stainless.

Do all hydro clutches have a hard line coming out of the slave cylinder before another soft line to the damper? Should I do away with this too or keep it? What would the fitting on the other side be? 10mm female? I search a ton but its like digging thru a gold mine lost in coal.

From what I can tell of others pictures, it looks like some were fit for a banjo, instead of the hard line. My fittings would be 10mm x 1 and ...10mm on the master cyl end.?

The hard line was only on 91 models. 92-94 models just use a hose to go from the damper to the slave cylinder.

92-94 slave cylinders use M10x1.0 banjo fittings.

I believe that hard line has M10x1.0 double flare fittings on each end.

Thanks for the reply vikash

Is there a good reason to keep the hard line in the system?

If so, I'd have a line with a female 10x1.0 double flare on one side and a 10x1.0 banjo on the other? Go figure...

Otherwise I'd just stick a banjo adapter in the slave side?

I don't see a good reason to keep the hard line.

If I were you I'd get a 92-94 slave cylinder and use two banjos. That, to me, seems like it would be the minimum number of parts in the end. I also prefer the serviceability of banjo fittings over flare fittings.

Yeah, I can totally agree with simplicity and serviceability.

Think I'll just try and get it bled so it can drive, and hit a yard for the slave in the near future.

thanks!

No problem.

Bleeding the clutch system is a pain. Remember there's a bleeder valve on the damper as well as on the slave cylinder. Also, it can help to push the slave cylinder rod back into the cylinder once or twice, to try to force any air bubbles back up the hose.
