Trust me you would kick yourself, if you did it all and left this out. Shortens travel/firmer feel. If you need help unless USP ships I can ship you one to simplify customs. And it would be a bitch to retrofit afterwards.

Yeah gearbox basically needs to come out to replace these....I fitted a new one last year when I did the clutch if I knew about these I would have ordered and done it then.

Ok, good luck. I think it's doable with trans up but not a job you want to attempt.

Clutch issue

Boom! There you go, you will thank me later - yes please, I take a pint! Also a bit for you/mechanic we used some high temp Teflon to assure perfect fit for "life" to the slave given location and pressure tested several times prior to completing the assembly which limited access.

P.s good timing for you though, with them running a sale. I got mine at full price.

Does the braided line run from the slave right up to the master replacing the steel lines as well as the rubber hose .?

Yes sir, you will enjoy the cluster of the OEM lines which has several bends and splices, no wonder it feels so much better. You will see it...

Obv a man talking from experience

Am I correct when I say you need to remove the master inside the car first to pull the clip retaining the pipe as looking down the side of the servo I can't see the pipe lol

I was at my friends Shop for parts of the clutch install, but not for all. However, think all was done from outside/underside. And regarding "from experience"; yeah, pretty simple before and after comparisons. I do most of my own work but not this as I am not ready to pull a trans on my back with car on jack-stands.

Yeah you need a lift to do the gearbox removal. That's for sure, I'm lucky that my cousin has a garage with all facilities I get to use.

Lucky guy! Also, sure you can find something online about it.

Also, If you read anything about the USP push rod is longer than OEM, which alters pedal location. That was an early version and has been fixed for years and now same length as OEM. I even called and talked to the USP team prior and confirmed update, followed my satisfied "testing". Anyways, just so you know. I am out for now, but good luck!
