One more thing that they don't want you to have.

CAMAR0 · 08-17-2010, 05:48 AM

I duno why. My parts guy called and goes gm put a hold on both of your orders. We need vin numbers to get them to release it. I looked it up and called him back and order is shipping to dealer now.

Intriguing. I ordered mine online so I guess I'll avoid that...?

I really wish somebody would do a DIY thread or video of how to install/create a separate Reservoir.

Have you tried hard launches and has the clutch pedal stuck with the separate reservoir?

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 08-17-2010, 12:00 PM

Yes me and more ppl have done hard launches in this car, But a separate reservoir is only 1/2 the job, Replacing the clutch fluid in the reservoir before and after a track day is the key to stopping this problem.

Can you post more information about the hoses and fittings you used for the new resevoir?

CAMAR0 · 08-17-2010, 03:26 PM

It looked like you just unhook the hose from the brake/clutch reservoir, plug the hole, attach to the gto clutch reservoir. Am i right?

Petersimov · 08-17-2010, 04:40 PM

when u do this mod do u need to bleed the clutch after

clg_98ta · 08-17-2010, 07:55 PM

I just got my GTO clutch reservoir from GMPartsDirect... I ordered a month ago and got an email saying it was on national backorder (3rd time trying to order it). Then 2 weeks later I got another email saying it had shipped.

Now I guess I need to install it...

I'm interested in this mod as well. If it helps any on the v6 I'll probably end up doing it myself.
