Stage I Clutch Reservoir Relocation Kit - 2010-2015 Camaro V6/SS

Oh yes, I put one on my car. Hate that the brake and clutch reservoir are together. Brake fluid gets dirty due to the clutch. Easy to keep clutch resevoir clean.

I put it on my ZL1!

Does anyone know if this will work if you have the Roto-Fab windshield washer II relocation kit installed?

I would do this if the clutch bleeder screw wasn't so hard to get to. I have changed the fluid on every car I've owned except this one because that screw is so hard to get to.

Changing Flywheel and clutch this weekend and will be installing a Monster extended Speed Bleeder.

Yeah I might have to have someone install one of those for me as well. It is too hard to reach otherwise.

I'm going to do this. thanks guys

Here is my install

Definitely an important upgrade. Not sure on the W/W 2 kit, I think you'd be able to find somewhere to mount it.

I did the speed bleeder with the car on a lift (without removing trans), it was a PITA but I got it done. There's a thread somewhere on how to make the tool for it
