90’ Clutch Hydrolic Line

[Ccmano]

Is the 90’ clutch line unique to that year or can the 91’ and up line be used?

I am not positive. But I think they are the same. While I know of many unique MY 90isms. I have never heard that these are different. I'm sure WV knows for sure

To my knowledge they are the same as non-ZR-1 applications. When you can find them (Corvette Mods, Ecklers and such currently sell reproductions) they are sold as 89-90 and 91-96. Steel tube bends look slightly different and the later one uses steel braided hose.

Reach out to the ZF.DOC I'm sure he knows

Hans,

I just replaced the m/c and slave this spring = fresh in my memory!

The hydraulic line for the 90 is solid bent steel sections on either end, separated with a rubber middle section. However, the 91+ line is rubber with a stainless braid.

The 90 slave has the bleeder on the top of the slave, whereas the 91-95 is on the bottom.

I recommend going with the 91+ slave AND the 91+ hydraulic line for ease of installation.

Per Marc Haibeck's recommendation, I bought my m/c and slave from Rock Auto (cast iron as opposed to tube steel), and the hydraulic line from Corvette Central.

I wrote an article detailing this in the last issue of HOTB, FYI. After it was published, I heard from someone with a later model (a '94 ZR-1) who pointed out that his car had a spring steel retainer clip on his m/c actuator rod, instead of a "C" (or "E"?) clip I mentioned in the article. (I'd be curious to know whether yours is a "C" clip or the spring steel type. (the spring steel I've seen on other stuff, and quite frankly would be preferable to the "C" clip, IMO.)

Cheers!:)

Good to know thanks Paul

Yes, saw your fantastic article in HOTB last month. Not sure what I’m going to do just yet. I’ll let you know what I find.

Paul, just reread your article in HOTB. Went ahead and ordered the whole she-bang. Mytivac included!

Hans,

Very handy tool (Mytivac reservoir). And, a set of Russell 639630 Speed Bleeders placed in your calipers used in conjunction with that Mytivac reservoir and a vacuum bleeder pump and clear plastic tubing makes brake bleeding a simple, one-person job done very efficiently!

FWIW!

Good point, I already have the Mytivac vacuum and pressure bleeder and a Mytivac Vacuum oil change tool. I suppose the vacuum bleeder would work on the clutch system as well.

Paul,
Removed mine today. I can tell you that my mid-production 90’ has the spring steel clip. Good thing I decided to do the replacement. Turns out the master was leaking slightly on the actuator shaft.
Thanks again for your great article.
