I will eventually sleeve the clutch hard line with split fuel line as others have done. That plastic line really looks vulnerable next to the sharp edges of the heat shield(s). I bent mine as well, just where it looked like it may rub.

Default TSB locations

Ok, why can i not find the TSB's that everyone is mentioning about the tranny? I looked at the ProjectJK home page but didn't find then under the TSB section. Can someone tell me where to find these new TSB's? My clutch has always been extremely touchy shifty from 1st to 2nd (practically no friction zone) and now when i'm in neutral, no clutch, i'm hearing an odd, steady...I don't know....mechanical sound.
