And yes, every manual shift gen 5 Camaro should have had a remote clutch reservoir ( like the Corvette and GTO have from the factory ). The idea of getting clutch dust into the brake hydraulic system which is what happens with a shared ( 5th gen Camaro ) brake/clutch hydraulic reservoir system is just absurd. Plus the difficulty of flushing/bleeding the clutch hydraulic system is magnified when the brakes and clutch share the same reservoir. I can tell you the GM engineers who looked at my separate/remote clutch reservoir setup at the 3rd C5 fest at Indy this past August were both impressed as well as admitted the addition of the separate clutch reservoir makes good "real world" sense.

Installed mine over the weekend and very impressed with the ease of doing this. Seriously, for the price of parts and a couple hours of your time, you really can't go wrong with doing it. It's cheap insurance.

Now all that's left is a good clutch & brake system flush which will probably be scheduled with the 30k maintenance appointment.
