Fitment Notes

• 5-speed manual transmission (5MT) models only - does not fit automatic or 6-speed manual transmissions
• GDA/GGA (2nd-gen WRX): Fits Applied A through E only (2002-2005 USDM equivalent) - does not fit Applied F onward
• Forester SG5: Fits turbo models only, Applied A through C (approximately 2003-2005)
• Direct replacement for the factory OEM rubber clutch hose - uses the same routing and fittings

Features

• Aircraft-grade PTFE stainless steel braided mesh outer construction for superior durability and heat resistance
• Teflon-inner lined hose minimizes fluid contamination and ensures smooth hydraulic flow
• Resists expansion under high temperatures and repeated hard use - unlike OEM rubber hoses that swell and soften over time
• Delivers improved pedal-to-clutch responsiveness with more precise and consistent engagement feel
• Eliminates the spongy or vague clutch pedal feel caused by aging or heat-expanded rubber lines
• Direct OEM rubber hose replacement - uses factory routing and connection points for simple installation
• Stainless steel fittings provide corrosion resistance and a leak-free connection
• Recommended for street performance, track days, rally, and any motorsport application requiring reliable clutch control
• Extends clutch hydraulic system service life by preventing the micro-cracking and deterioration common in rubber hoses

Product Description

The Cusco 660 022 CL Stainless Steel Braided Clutch Line is a direct replacement for the factory rubber clutch hydraulic hose on a wide range of Subaru turbo AWD models equipped with 5-speed manual transmissions. The factory clutch hose is made from rubber, which over time and under repeated heat cycles begins to expand, crack, and deteriorate. This expansion causes a spongy, vague clutch pedal feel that makes precise engagement difficult - a particular problem during spirited driving, track sessions, and rally stages where clutch modulation directly impacts performance and lap times.

Cusco's replacement line uses aircraft-grade PTFE stainless steel braided mesh with a Teflon inner liner, creating a hose that resists expansion across a far wider temperature range than rubber while also preventing fluid contamination. The result is a firmer, more direct clutch pedal feel with faster and more predictable engagement - translating driver input to clutch mechanism response with significantly higher precision. The stainless steel fittings ensure a leak-free, corrosion-resistant connection that maintains integrity over years of use.

This clutch line fits the Subaru Impreza WRX and STI (GC8, 1993-2001), second-generation WRX (GDA, 2002-2005, Applied A-E only), WRX Wagon (GF8 and GGA), Forester XT (SG5, turbo, 5MT, Applied A-C only), and Legacy turbo models from the BC5 through BH5 generations (1989-2003). All applications require a 5-speed manual transmission - automatic and 6-speed manual models use different hydraulic routing and are not compatible. Installation follows the factory hose routing and uses the same connection points, making it a straightforward replacement.
