Replacing T-5 master to slave Hydraulic line

I did a search and couldn't really find my answer. First what would be a good replacment for the stock Hydraulic line connecting the master cylinder to the slave cylinder on at T-5 (no rubber, preferably steel braided). Also how hard would it be to actually replace this line. Im not familiar with Hydraulic transmissions. Any guides or FAQ's that you know of that i couldn't find would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help!

Stock line is a hard plastic line. You would want to prolly look into the 4th gen setup. It can be fitted to our cars with slight modifications.

The line is held in place by a single roll pin on both the master and the slave. Are you missing the line right now?

No but over the past few months my transmission has been getting harder and harder to put into gear after driving for more then 10 minutes.I have to pump the clutch sometimes to even get it to shift. I was told this is because i have a Center force dual friction clutch and because it takes more pressure to release the clutch over time my stock hydraulic line has expanded. My best bet would be to replace it with a steel braided line.

I just wanted to know if this job would require me to do other then lift the car up which is obvious. And i think ill go with akmuclecar's advice on using the 4th gen setup.
