FAQ
Does a steel braided clutch hose feel different from the OE rubber hose?
A steel braided hose resists expansion under hydraulic pressure, so the clutch engagement point is more consistent and the pedal feels firmer and more direct.
Do I need to bleed the clutch hydraulic system after installing this hose?
Yes. Installing the hose means removing the old OE hose, and the clutch hydraulic system must be bled afterward to remove air and restore proper clutch operation.
How long does a PRO RS clutch line last?
PRO RS provides a 5-year warranty. Under normal road use, the PTFE inner lining typically outlasts a rubber hose. We recommend checking the braid and fittings for wear once a year.
Is installation complicated? Do I need a professional technician?
We recommend having it installed by a qualified workshop. The clutch hydraulic system must be bled properly after installation.
Does this affect other clutch components?
No. The hose only replaces the OE rubber clutch hose — it doesn't change the clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, or clutch disc/plate.
Is the clutch line made from the same material as the brake hose?
Yes. PRO RS SAFEBRAKE uses the same stainless steel braided outer layer and PTFE inner liner construction for both brake hoses and clutch lines.
