This additional expansion can contribute to a softer clutch pedal and less consistent clutch engagement during aggressive driving. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Ecotec performance increases, so do the demands placed on the hydraulic clutch system. Higher engine speeds, increased clutch clamp loads, improved traction, stiffer drivetrain mounts, and racing temperatures all place additional stress on the factory hydraulic line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the OEM plastic line performs well in a stock application, years of heat cycles, vibration, and repeated pressure cycles can reduce its stiffness. Under aggressive driving, this can contribute to additional hydraulic line expansion, resulting in a softer clutch pedal and less consistent clutch engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BK
