Clutch slave cylinder and hose

[Y5ave]

Hi does anyone know why the clutch slave cylinders fail on 350zs ? I've heard

The hose can get very hot and this damages the piston seals because the fluid

Gets heated .

I'm assuming you meant to post this in the 350Z area so I've moved it here.

 

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable on the subject will be along shortly.

 

Welcome aboard btw.

Your assumption is correct.

 

The rubber hose and oem fluid can not handle the heat from the exhaust/cat on the DE.

 

Braided line, high temperature fluid and a new oem slave usually fixes the issue.
