Do you think that the car needs a separate Clutch Fluid reservoir - Page 17 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Installed my clutch fluid reservoir today.

Looks a lot like ssmike's install!

Thanks 2SSRS for the reservoir and ssmike for the zip tie idea.

I'll call you when it gets here and bring it over. The fluid I removed was a dark red. I'm really glad I did this install now.

I can't wait to get this mod done

My reservoir just arrived in our northern winter wonderland today. 2 weeks... not bad considering the zero visibility white-outs the lead dog on the mail sled had to endure.

Thanks 2SSRS

I don't think the hold up is the USPS. More likely when they transfer it to that dogsled at the US - CDN. border.

My igloo is is pretty far north too.

I love the "Genuine GM" packaging from "Holden Service Parts Operations" with an address from Australia.

It's kind of a shame to rip it open...

... but I will.

Thanks again 2SSRS

Using zip ties to hold it to the positive cable, I bet this took me all of 10 minutes to do. I think I spent more time looking for the parts (clamps, rubber cap, sucky bulb thing, and brake fluid) than I did installing it.

A quick spin down the road showed me all was well post install.

Thanks 2SSRS and SSMike!

Thanks and post a pic of the work.

Just finished the GTO remote clutch reservoir installation on my SS. The EPDM hose is used on German cars such as Porsche and Volkswagen, a 3 foot length cost me $12, I used approximately 17" for my install. The EPDM cap for the brake master cylinder reservoir is from McMaster-Carr ( I have 49 of them left if anyone is looking for them ). The mounting hardware came from Ace Hardware, it is a special blind style screw and internally thread nut assembly with a shaft similar to a blind nut. DOT 4 brake fluid is ATE Super Blue. As you can see I choose a different mounting location than others.

Very nice. What length of hose did you use to run from the GTO reservoir to the master cylinder?
