    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!



    USP Presents our Summer Sale, Metal Slave and Clutch line Packages for $150 + shipping. Use coupon code "summer1" at checkout!


    Product Specifications:

    • High quality PTFE Teflon lined SS braided hose
    • Polymer sheathing in your choice of color
    • CAD designed CNC'D fittings
    • pressure tested to 3000psi
    • lifetime warranty
    • DOT APPROVED

    Advantage
    This product eliminates your weak factory rubber clutch line with a high performance stainless steel line. When thinking of what this product will do, think brake lines. The infamous spongy brake pedal is associated with weak factory rubber brake lines. The same is true for clutch lines. When you step on the clutch pedal the clutch line accumulates hydraulic pressure to release the clutch pressure plate. When the factory rubber line deteriorates or when using an upgraded clutch, this becomes more noticeable. The result is often less than full disengagement of the clutch. This can result in premature clutch wear, slow shift times, or even missing gears. By changing out the rubber clutch line with a stainless steel braided line your are truly in control of your clutch.

    Added features
    USP is also pleased to anounce our stainless steel clutch line with an upgraded metal slave cylinder. This removes the failure prone factory plastic slave cylinder with a much more reliable metal slave cylinder. At the same time the metal slave cylinder allows for full engagement and disengagement of the clutch. This will further enhance your control of your clutch. The metal slave cylinder also incorporates a metal bleeder screw now you don't have to worry about stripping the factory plastic one.

    Some FAQs

    What does this product do?
    The purpose of this product is to remove the weak rubber line that expands under pressure from the pressurized clutch hydraulic system and replace it with a stainless steel line that does not expand under pressure.

    How does this product work?
    When you step on the clutch pedal, pressure is sent out of the master cylinder through the factory clutch line. From there, it goes into the slave cylinder which applies pressure to the clutch pressure plate, releasing the clamping load. The problem is that with an upgraded clutch, the clamping force on the pressure plate is increase resulting in more pressure required to disengage the clutch. With the factory hydraulic pressure let alone the increase in hydraulic pressure caused by an upgraded clutch, the line expands. As the line expands less pressure and energy is used to disengage the clutch, and more energy is wasted as the factory clutch line expands. The stainless steel line eliminates this because it does not expand under pressure.

    Where does this product install?
    This product replaces the clutch line which is located between the clutch master and slave cylinders. If you purchase the clutch line with metal slave cylinder, the metal slave cylinder replaces the factory plastic slave cylinder.

    How entailed is the installation of this product?
    Installation is straight forward and requires basic hand tools such as wrenches and sockets. The clutch system will also need to be bled after installation. Installation should take 1-2 hours.

    What warranty does this product have?
    The clutch lines carry a lifetime warranty and the metal slave cylinders have a 1 year warranty

    I have a few questions about this product. Who do I contact?

    we are using the FTE (black ones) now instead of the Meyle/Sachs (silver ones). The FTE ones actually cost us $15 more, we found them to more durable.

    it will be fine, we ran the sachs slaves in our cars for years. we found the body of the FTE to be beefier, steel vs. aluminum. the sachs ones have also been in short supply

    I left my name logged in and my boss posted that. I drive an r53 mini cooper s now. 2200 lbs, 40 mpg highway. ..... And I may be working on another s ;)

    That said, this is a great upgrade over the cheap plastic Oem part and hard line!

    Will these fit an Allroad? Dont see that option on the website so I am not sure the clutch line length will be sufficient.

    When the 12 year old rubber line finally gives out in the middle of traffic, you'll understand the improvement :)

    I think I remember someone saying the a4's have metal masters. can't remember if it was the 1.8t or 2.8v6... you need a custom clutch line though
