I'm getting ready to swap my car from Auto to Manual.

Where can I find a stainless clutch line that will go from the Clutch MC to slave without using the Dampener Block or whatever it's called.

I ordered the stock line that looks identical to the nismo stainless line in shape but that thing is a little short. I'm assuming this line goes from the dampener box which then goes to the slave. Am I wrong? Since I don't have those lines I've been looking for a long stainless line from the MC but can't find one. Anyone know where I can get one?

Also when I look up driveshafts in junkyards they list ABS and non ABS ones. Do those really matter for the driveshaft? I don't have ABS and am assuming that either will work.I ordered non-ABS ones so it won't matter for me but I'm just curious.

ABS driveshafts are an inch shorter than non ABS shafts. There's an extra gear sensor in front of the diff on an ABS car

okis: the line you have is fine, you need the clutch hardline to go from the mc to that line

they don't make stainless lines THAT long.. unless you were to get one custom made

Adikt - Thanks but that is the line I have, just the stock version of it. But I might get that stainless one since it's pretty cheap.

SHIFTrl240 - That is exactly what I need. I can't find it. Know of any places I should look?

you could just bend the hardpipe and leave the rubber line on the end.
