Do you think that the car needs a separate Clutch Fluid reservoir - Page 24 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Sting- I ended up ordering some AN -3 fittings with a piece of brake line to make a hard line just a little longer than the stock tube. I will post up some pics when I get the parts and get it put back together.

Not trying to take over the thread but didn't want to start a new one. Here is my how to video. It will be HD once it gets done getting processed. My fluid was really dark after only a year and about 7k. Garage kept and not diven in the rain or snow. Hell I never even opened the lid untill I seen this thread!

Nice video.

Question though.....since you drained out all that brake fluid shouldn't you bleed the brakes to make sure there are no air bubbles in your brake lines?

Draining out the brake fluid would be the best thing to do but I didn't want to deal with bleeding the brakes. I just removed the hose clamp like you did and when I pull off the hose I had my new plug ready to go back on real quick. I a little fluid come out but it didn't come shooting out or anything.

Your bracket is sweet though. Wish some one would make and sell those. Come on 2SS.....can't you make that and sell it as a kit with the resivoir and correct plug?

Thanks. I don't think you need to bleed the brakes bc the fluid never goes below the ports under the res. Not sure on the clutch? there was air in the line for the clutch. I sqeezed it a little after filling and a couple bubbles came out. It drove fine after this. Should I be concerned about the clutch? Is it hard to bleed?

I did my install the exact same way as yours but I didn't have that awesome bracket.

I filled the clutch line with fluid a bit before I installed the new reservoir and didn't bleed it. No issues with the clutch after 4.5K.

How would I know if there was air in the system? I could not tell any diff while shifting. From 2SSRS clutch write up the system cycles air out on it own?

gahammerle · 03-07-2011, 07:00 PM

mikepage0007 · 03-07-2011, 07:57 PM
