Just installed SS brake lines & clutch feels softer

I drive a WRX wagon · 04-10-2002, 02:46 AM

I just installed stainless steel brake lines and replaced the brake fluid. When i started the car, the clutch felt softer than before, almost like the gas pedal. As i drove it, it started feeling firmer but still not like how it was before. Any ideas???

it is because your brake pedal got a lot firmer that you feel like your clutch is very light.

unless you bled the wrong hoses

ok...yea...so the day after, now the clutch feels the same. I think it was just my leg from pumping the brake pedal to flush the fluid

Get Clutch SS line and replace fluid as well.
