Yeah, that was my problem. Clutch was great, until I went above 3k rpm or tried to use more than 20% throttle. lol.

I can't seem to find the pinlock to -3an adapter fitting. Do you happen to have that part # still?
I'm starting to become pretty familiar with your build thread..

For the price, the ebay XTR, XTD, and F1 clutches are good. But it's recommended to change out the hydraulic line between the master cylinder and slave cylinder with a stainless steel line. If you want to spend more on a clutch that'll last a bit longer buy a spec or a clutchmasters. I'd personally recommend a clutchmasters over a spec though. Clutchmasters seem to have the best reviews all around.

My spec didn't really slip yet.But i did burn it up, alittle being stuck on a hill without being able to select reverse.lol If your going to spend the money just get a clutchmaster and call it a day.I've had both and like the clutchmaster much better.Mine has been a 5/speed since 89.

Jon is pretty dang fast. Thank you too! It's much cheaper through that site. And I do like supporting the little guys.
I'm assuming/hoping the internal slave uses the same pinlock connector? It looks that way in the pictures at least.

I don't know if the internal is the same, but Barry will know. He might even be selling the clutch line in his part out.

looking at this photo it doesn't look like a pin lock connector, but it could be. The line your hooking up to is still external of the trans so you should be able to visually see if its a pin lock.

Already sold the line.
But as you see in the pic there is that gay quick release connector on there. That comes off and leaves a standard flare on the slave cylinder side. I forget what size but it was not hard for me to make a line for like 35 bucks

Awesome. So i'll get the pinlock for the trans i have now, and when I can find a 92+ beretta trans i'll just swap the fitting ends.
