Anyone ever had problems with their linelocks? Mine just stopped working about half way through the last track day. I didn't figure this out till a week ago though:banghead:. The only thing I can think it might be is the solenoid. I have rebleed the brakes and checked the wiring. I can hear the solenoid click but its not holding the pressure?

What brand of line-lock is it? I've had my Hurst line lock on for a few years and I've had no issues with it yet.

. . . knock on wood. :D

Yea, knock on wood. That alone would have jinxed me.

I agree. If it's clicking and the lines are not kinked/damaged, then it has to be the internals of the solenoid.

I had to rebuild one of my Linelocks about a year ago. Nothing to it really...I took it apart and cleaned it out really well and reassembled it and it has been working fine ever since.

Its an slp kit. Doesn't sound to bad to rebuild, just sucks having to take the brake booster back out again

Thats exactly why when I finallyget off my ass and put one on our Mach1 its not going there....I am going to put it on the ABS block. :nice:

Yeah, thats where people who use the hurst kits put theirs. I thought it would be more easy to install the slp kit.

Well, took it off and cleaned the solenoid all out real good and also flushed out the lines. I then put it all back together and damn thing still doesn't work. I took it back apart again and found the small rubber tip on the plunger had somehow broken down and was not blocking the hole to maintain pressure. I called slp and its out of warranty and they want $80 for a new solenoid. :banghead:
