My Nissan race car has a hydraulic clutch and I am curious to know the function of the inline valve between the master and the slave. I haven't seen a system before that had more than just the two usual suspects. This component is mounted to the frame rail, and it consists of a very short cylinder with a rubber cup and a weak spring behind it. It seems to act to take some of the force out of the system before the slave piston is compressed? Anyone know what it does? Thank you
Could be a clutch regulator valve, it limits the speed of clutch engagement to reduce driveline shock in case the driver is an idiot. A good thing to remove on a race car.
Yea, get a steel braided soft line sand throw away that hard line E36 M3.
Isuzus had those things, I think they called them dampers and they were supposed to improve the feel of the clutch. Why that was considered important I'll never know, it's awful 'Princess and the Pea' sounding to me. We bypassed one that was leaking for a customer by using a threaded inverted flare coupling, never heard a peep about it.
