Hi Guys,
Since getting my car on the road I have not done a large mileage. The next day I always have difficulty in engaging gears, on inspection it would appear that the exhaust pipes are too close to the slave cylinder and I am boiling the clutch fluid. Now I can wrap the pipes in a Lava infused tape, or try and find a very efficient insulation that will deflect great amounts of heat away. The other suggestion was to lose the hydraulics, and go for a cable, this would eliminate the problem, but comes with it's own design difficulties. Any ideas gratefully accepted. I have attached a picture showing the slave cylinder and pipes.
Thanks,
Don.
