    I've seen the device many a time but no one can give me a answer (checked Else etc)

    Its fitted in the hydraulic line on all 02M style gearbox, with the release bearing & slave cylinder mounted in the gearbox

    It's comes with the hydraulic line so no separate part number, the size of it's equal to a half used roll of electric tape, one in & one out union

    I have a feeling it may be something to draw back the fluid, or to act a servo effect

    does anybody actually know? [:$] :lol: and could it be used on a o2a box effectively as i have one tucked in the garage somewhere;)

    Maybe a damper, some Fords and BMWs have them when a dual mass flywheel is fitted, to stop vibrations being felt on the clutch pedal. Could be that?

    Heres a picture, it could well be damper - there only so much dampering those DMF's can do when they go to the wall [:s] :lol:

    something to prevent you from side stepping the clutch? slows down the flow of the fluid, to bring the clutch out a bit slower

    it lets the fluid back slow so you cant let out the clutch quick. i had one on the beemer, real annoying, no matter how hard i tried i couldent get the ar5e to break away if dumped the clutch, i removed it and joined the lines, no problem with sideways action after that:lol:
