KRALLE - SCCA Solo2/ProSolo2 Street Modified Racing Clutch Accumulator VFAQ

You may have seen the stainless steel clutch line which RRE and other vendors are selling. I did install one with my ACT 2600, and it does help make the clutch more direct acting. Its a litle like when you took out the clutch restrictor by the slave cylinder.

Since I have a spare transmission, I cut apart the clutch accumulator to see if I was defeating any other hidden flow restrictors.

	This is the complete clutch accumulator from my '95 AWd with 80k miles.
	After cutting apart the cylinder, we see that it is just a simple accumulator. While its harder to see in this pic, the accumulator is just apipe with two end pipes welded on. I went through about 3 super cut off wheels with my dremel knock off during the research shown on this page.
	The block at the top looked suspicious, like it might hold a flow restricto. So i cut off part of that.
	I still didn't trust the hole I saw, so I opened it up some more. It really is just a hole. The ID is about the same as the fittings in the stock parts.
	Before cutting the thing apart, i checked to see if there were any flow restrictions. (This is hard to take a pic of, because digital cameras have so much lag.)
	This was a brand new cheapy filter. I highly recommend using a filter when cutting and grinding. Unlike the trim work I did on my RSR and turbo install, this time I wasn't blowing and hacking black snot for four days. You have been warned.
