SR Performance Hydraulic Clutch Line; Braided Stainless Steel (05-14 Mustang)

Video Review & Installation

Hey I’m Justin with AmericanMuscle.com here with a must have upgrade for any stock or modified S197. I’m referring to the SR Performance braided stainless steel hydraulic clutch line, fitting all 2005 and newer Mustangs. SR Performance has really made a name for themselves in the aftermarket Mustang world thanks to their wide variety of high quality performance and suspension components, that fit nicely into just about anyone’s budget. To keep tabs on the rest of the SR Performance line up, you just have to subscribe to our YouTube channel by clicking on the link below or on the AM logo in the corner at any point during this video. Alright, so let’s explain why you might need something like this, well, the factory clutch line in all 2005 and newer manual Mustangs is made out of a hard plastic material, and like any plastic it has to swell under pressure, especially when things get hot under the engine bay. Any swelling or distortion of that factory plastic line can lead to a lack of pressure at the slave cylinder, resulting in inconsistent shifts, pedal engagement, especially when you’re trying to bang gears quickly like at the track for instance. By going with a Teflon line, braided stainless hose like this SR Performance hose here, you’re never going to have to worry about the line swelling, cracking or melting like you would with the plastic line. In addition the clutch pedal feel should improve greatly and just feel more smooth and responsive overall. Some folks have said that by switching to a stainless line, this helped take some of the notchiness out of their shifter, while other Mustang owners have said that installing a stainless line helps the pedal engage a little higher off the floor, meaning you’re not going to have to press the clutch pedal down all the way to shift gears anymore.

Removing the factory line and installing the new stainless line will require some work in the engine bay and underneath the car in addition to reaching into some pretty tight spots. Because of this the install can be a little tricky especially if you have big hands like myself, but you can expect to spend about 2 hours getting the job done. Once the line is installed just check your brake fluid levels, you might end up losing a few ounces removing the factory line. You will notice the SR Performance line does not have a bleeder on it, so that means you’re going to have to bleed the system before going for a spin. To do this you need to pump the clutch pedal a number of times, some people have said it takes close to a hundred times before you get your pedal back fully. So once you have your pedal back, go take it for a spin around the neighborhood first just to make sure the car shifts smoothly. That’s pretty much it man but if you should have any questions just give us a call at 855-422-7439, or shoot us an email at [email protected]. So if you’re looking to replace that weak factory plastic clutch line in your 2005 and newer Mustang with a quality stainless piece, then be sure to check out this budget friendly option from SR Performance, available right here at AmericanMuscle.com.
