Auto to 5MT, clutch line correct?

Got this car from my brother with "all the parts'' for the swap. I've had to source a few things most of it was there. After mounting the trans, peddle, master and slave cylinder, I find that the ends of the new clutch line don't seem correct. I bought a new line off FRSport and it's the same. The bent 90* end has a free spinning male connector but the other end is fixed male connection. You either have to screw it in rotating the whole line, or its made to connect with a rotating female connector). The end with the 90* bottoms out in the SC and same with MC before compressing the flared end. What am I missing here? some obvious over site?

I had the same puzzlement when I bought my Agency power clutch line, I have the 90* into the master.

I first connected it the slave and let the line twist and spin as I tighten that end, then ran it up and used the 90*/swivel connection to tighten on the master cylinder. Adjusted pedal, Bled it, adjusted it, bled it and adjusted. No issues.


I agree though, it seems odd there are no 90s on both ends, even a swivel on both ends. I looked at a couple other brands online and they all seem to be this way.

You don't need the little soft line, unless you are running the dampener, which is a common deletion in most S-Chassis, factory 5 speed or a swapped chassis.
