Leaking clutch line
My clutch line that runs from the master cylinder to the slave
cylinder is leaking. It is leaking where it screws into the slave cylinder. I noticed this while bleeding the clutch. After I pumped the pedal a few times to build up pressure I noticed that fluid was slowly seeping through the threads in the connection. Should I get a new line or will a couple of wraps of Teflon tape work? Will |

Hey Will.
My 87 YJ did the same thing last year. I just replaced the line. Has not leaked since. 87 Yj 33" 46 Willy's 50 Willy's Pick up Later Mike |

Re: Leaking clutch line
Teflon tape won't work because it's the flare on the line that does
the sealing against the inverted flare at the bottom. Try tightening the line more, but back it off 1/4 turn first. |

Re: Leaking clutch line
Teflon tape works well on the threads of flare fittings. It is a
lubricant that allows the fitting to tighten easily which compresses the flare nicely. I use it all the time.
