It's usually a bad idea to use a brake hose in a clutch system. Brake hoses are usually -3 size but, in order for a clutch to release fast enough for performance shifts, a clutch line must be at least -4, even for a short path. Car and Driver managed to cook a clutch doing their usual car-abuse when testing one of our early cars. Cost me a trip to L.A. to put in a new one.

That's what happens when a car gets built by road-racers who don't abuse the machinery, except in the corners.
