I cannot find where this plugs into The picture is from the drivers side of the engine.And also, I have some stage 2 clutch blablabla from the previous owner and the clutch lines go straigt to the slave cylinder (not the little box under the car).Regardless of how many times I bleed it it's always worse the next day and slips. Any ideas?

not 100% posotive, the picture isnt 2 clear. is it one sold blue wire?, most likely goes to your compressor for ac clutch.

i can't tell what color or where it goes. but wc have a pretty good guess. but as far as clutch goes. pull the rubber at the clutch slave and see if any fluid ooze out if so bad slave. also check out under driver dash see if you can see any leakage where the push rod that come from the clutch master is leaking. if you bad master. start there. good luck.

you don't need that wire. how's your o2 sensor? or is your clutch just that bad?

not sure whats up with the wire, but check your clutch pedal engagement. i changed out my clutch master cylinder and i made the mistake of not adjusting the pedal enough and ended up slipping my clutch so much i fried it. i dont have my car with me i left it at work (auto garage) so i cant check out the wire but i say check out your pedal, MC, and slave cylinder. gl bro!

i had my clutch pedal adjusted wrong as well, it was really tight at the very tip top, so i loosened the bolts up on the master cylinder arm to the clutch pedal assembly, and put about 1/8 of an inch of play in it, doesnt slip anymore

Definitely for the AC. Just removed mine so it's still fresh in my mind

AC compressor clutch wire

If you're clutch is slipping, it's not because of air in the system. I would look into the pedal adjustment like mentioned. If it's too tight it will cause it too slip when it warms up.
