Here is the diagram of the GTO hydraulic clutch system that we are borrowing the reservoir from, see No 1 for P/N 92065790. (Note this reservoir does not have any holes in the bottom to attach to a master cylinder)

Pulling the oil out that low would probalby cause air bubbles to get in the lines. I would think it would be easier to have a couple plugs ready to go, put a bucket or towel underneath it and try to make the switch real quick.

My plan is to fill the engine compartment with towels. (brake fluid eats paint like the cookie monster on some nestle tollhouse specials) Clamp the clutch line lightly. Pull it and plug the master. Slide on the hose clamp over the plug and tighten. Hold up the clutch line and release clamp and attach to reservoir. Fill clutch reservoir. Screw to pretapped holes on strut tower back side. About to attempt in 30mins. Will let you know how it goes along with pics of the plug pkg from autozone.

Well, I didn't get around to doing my swap, either. I installed my Heritage grill instead. Here's a pic of the new reservoirs, in case anyone hasn't seen what it looks like without the clutch line tab removed. I can't exactly say it's pretty, but I'll feel more secure this way vs. using a plug:

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...mString=search Im just using the 3/8" cap from this kit with a hose clamp over it. Should be as secure as the original hose connection. $3.75+tax. Last edited by CAMAR0; 08-21-2010 at 09:37 PM. |

Depending on what those are made of you may want to switch out to EPDM caps.
