master and slave actuators for the clutch.


Go buy the tool that does proper double flares, and redo it the
right way. Think of the first attempt as either "Practice" or a
"bending pattern" or "Proof Of Concept", whichever one sets your mind
at ease for the duplicated effort. Unless you make it a habit to
ignore those initials P.E. (that allegedly indicate an Engineering
Degree) when it's inconvenient ortoo much trouble or too expensive to
do the right thing...

Yeah, I fight dirty. Deal with it. ;-P

Somewhere along the line the fact that this is a clutch line, not a
brake line, has been lost. Much lower pressures in the system, and a
huge difference in the likely consequences of a failure.

Not going to tone it down much... Even if it's "only" the clutch
that quits releasing, if you're dealing with traffic and trying to
downshift for a curve or an exit ramp, watching for little cars in
your blind spot, already busier than a one armed paperhanger - then
you throw in a failure like that on top of it...

You can still end up in a crash. Workload overload. Try juggling
too many balls at once and inevitably something's gonna get dropped -
you are already at your limit and some smartass tosses in two more...
