Phil,
Sounds like you broke off the fitting that attaches to the flex line, correct?
I'm kinda curious how you managed to do that ;)
I don't think you have much choice but to install a new clutch line. I doubt
rubber fuel line and clamps would handle the pressure too well--the pressure
when you disengage the clutch is much greater than even fuel injection line
pressure. Not having a working clutch would all but strand you someday.
This isn't a terrible job, I don't think you even have to remove the
transmission cover to get at the line. This would be a good time to install a
remote bleeder kit from Mr. Finespanner (Doug Reid), if you do pull the cover.
