If you can redesign the installation so there are heim joints on EACH end you will go a long way in eliminating what ever issues you are having. These things MUST pull in a straight line to work correctly, if they do not, the piston inside is pushed to one side as it travels, it will quickly wear a pattern that will cause an internal leak. You will recognize this being the case, since the symptoms are the required pumping of the pedal to gain proper travel of the release lever and clutch. If a strengthened clutch pressure plate is added due to increased HP the wear problem is increased. Think STRAIGHT LINES. Sometimes those we take the car to for repair are only changing parts, and don't realize some re-engineering may be required. This is Hydraulics 101 applied to an automotive application.
