Default B18c into EK: clutch line won't reach....???

on my b18c, the line that comes off the clutch fork from the front of the tranny does not look like it's going to reach around and connect to the line coming off the firewall in my 99 ex...... what did you guys do about this? did i miss something completely? i will try to get pics up shortly..... thanks.

I got mine made at a local hydraulic company. Find a company that makes lines and fittings. It cost about $35 and it was a steel braidedline

It wont reach because the hyro line that you have on that motor is off of a 94-up integra. You need the rest of the hyro line for you civic. then it will bolt striaght up to the tranny.

Yes, you can simply remove the hydro line from your D tranny and mount it to the B tranny and it will be the proper length to reach the firewall line.

Where's the rest of your old clutch line? On the rubber hose section (your holding in the first pic) there should be the smaller metal line (looks like brake line). I just used my entire 96 EX clutch line and it worked fine.

From what Ive seen only the 92-95 civics had that hard line going from the slave cylinder around to the pass. side. The 96+ civics only had that short rubber hose and thats it. I am pretty sure all you need is the long hard line from the older civics and it should bolt up fine. I need the same thing.

Dont swear! Anyways, thats right about the one on the original sohc, I forgot about that since its been a year since Ive had that motor. I sold the hard line attached to the tranny by accident, oh well!? Guess Ill have to get a new one also.
