Most modern vehicles use a hydraulic system to operate the clutch. The weak link in this system is often the rubber hose that runs to the clutch slave cylinder. Over time the factory Mazda Protege clutch hose will degrade and crack and eventually leave you stranded by the side of the road. An easy remedy for this is to replace your old worn out hose with a brand new Mazda Protege clutch hose. Here at Andy's Auto Sport we have an excellent collection of Mazda Protege clutch hoses for you to choose from. Whether you want a simple OEM replacement or a high-performance unit you are sure to find the perfect clutch hose for your needs in our extensive lineup.

While OEM rubber clutch hoses are adequate for normal daily driver use, as soon as you start using your vehicle in a performance environment they can come up short. Rubber hoses expand under pressure which can prevent the clutch from fully engaging. Rubber is also vulnerable to heat and chemicals which can cause it to degrade quickly. Fortunately there are several performance Mazda Protege clutch hose options available. With steel-braided hoses there is less expansion to provide smooth clutch operation even under the most grueling circumstances. The improved materials also boast greater toughness and longevity so that you can drive your vehicle with confidence that your clutch line won't burst.

Q: What is a clutch hose? Why buy one?
A: The clutch hose is the fluid line that connects your clutch master cylinder to your clutch slave cylinder. Most factory clutch hoses are made of rubber which breaks down over the years and will eventually crack and leak. In addition rubber expands under pressure which can cause a mushy pedal feel. Fortunately there are high-performance alternatives to the factory rubber hoses. Braided stainless steel hoses provide improved resistance to heat and chemicals for better longevity, as well as resistance to expansion to keep a firm pedal while providing just enough flexibility for proper hose routing. Most hoses are DOT approved for road use which makes them perfect for street and track vehicles alike. When it comes time to change your clutch hose we highly recommend this affordable upgrade.
