Got around to flushing the clutch hydraulic system today so that the entire clutch system would be nothing but the ATE Super Blue Racing DOT4 fluid I'm using. Chevrolet sure made bleeding the clutch a bit of a challenge although with a small, short 8mm wrench and an air fed vacuum brake bleeder it wasn't all that bad. I didn't notice any change in the clutch feel or actuation after the fluid change and bleeding but at least both my brakes and clutch systems are all fresh DOT4 now. Installed MTI SS brake lines and Hawk HPS pads along with a complete flush of the brake system today. The pads and SS lines are a definite improvement, well worth the $$ and effort.

Finally got around to taking a picture of the parts I put together to mount the GTO clutch reservoir as I did in post # 237. PM if you have any specific questions.

Yes. I've read numerous threads on this topic and also saw a video that displayed the chunks of crap in the fluid.
Seems to me separating the two wouldn't hurt, and chances of a reservoir failing is fairly slim. GM just wanted to save some cash. I'd like to see an aftermarket solution similar to the Vettes.

Brake Reservoir
I finally added my brake reservoir. I was torn between 2SSRS and flht99b’s location. Both are good locations and I would like to thank both of them for all their help. I think I’m going to replace my reservoir hose though. It would look better with a little more slack in the routing. Next up is a remote bleeder for the system.

Nice work! Looks like you got yours nice and level.
I may end up re-positioning mine someday. Need to get a good and driver first.
