Damn Hydraulic Clutch!!!

[LantisV6 NZ]

Ok, I was up in Totara Park (if you know Wellington you'll know where I mean!) looking for a mates stolen car when my clutch went VERY loose! I stopped the car and looked under the hood to see a small piece of rubber pipe pissing out hydraulic fluid all over the road! :x

Luckily my mates 87 Honda Prelude came to the rescue and towed me the 40km's home to Newlands with the dodgy Repco tow rope only breaking three times... :roll:

Now I've managed to get this little bastard pipe out and I'm going to need a replacement. Would it be more worthwhile getting a replacement from Mazda or getting a new one fabricated?

if it's straight, i'd just say take it to a generic hose seller and get one of equivalent burst strenght, but if it's a molded piece (ie bent), i'd try for a mazda one as yo wouldn't want to use a straight one and have a kink in it

Damn, what a pain in the arse! I didn't realise that these have hydrolic clutches.

Subnote: has he heard anymore about his Lude yet, other than it been stolen a 2nd time?

Good news!! I went to Mazda today and I'm getting a replacement tomorrow morning... only $35 too :D

We haven't heard anything else about the lude... its so gutting!! He only had it for a couple of months... :evil:
