Wouldn't a larger reservoir than the GTO one be a better option? I would think more fluid would provide better cooling capacity to help prevent boiling.

That might be true if the fluid circulated around the whole system, but I think the fluid does not move around much. Just like the brake system there is no return of the fluid back to the reservoir.

Another reservoir installed today by IDEALG use my location and you don't need to buy a longer hose. here's a few pics I did the yellow one today and the orange one a week or two ago.

Use spacers like these from Lowes and you won't need a longer hose.

I couldn't make it through the entire thread due to being on a Slow internet server at work. But has anyone had any trouble like the Clutch fluid loss and being you have seperate resevoir the sensor not catching it??Possibly burning up the clutch or somethg else. Anyhow it would leave you stranded. I don't race nor drive my car often so I would hope to see fluid leak in the garage after a run. But unfortunately I have had guess under my hood(rats) and didn't eat up anything but you just never know. I check each time I ride bc my car stays under a cover for 4-5 wks all the time. I want to add this to my car as I see it is a good upgrade to maintain clean brake fluid and able to flush your clutch fluid and not have to worry about all the bleeding and stuff for brakes each time. Just surious to know if this has been a issue or anything. I'm sure the GTO has an extra sensor for this. or any car that comes equipped with a seperate reservoir.

"But has anyone had any trouble like the Clutch fluid loss and being you have separate resevoir the sensor not catching it?" If you lost all or most of the clutch hydraulic fluid, your clutch wouldn't work correctly and or the transmission would be hard to or impossible to shift. The separate reservoir for the clutch hydraulic system has many benefits including keeping clutch dust out of the braking reservoir and ease of flushing the clutch hydraulic system to name two. Having clean DOT 3 or DOT 4 in the clutch hydraulic system improves clutch operation and shifting. I no of no good reason why anyone would allow any contamination of any kind in the brake hydraulic system and the stock shared clutch/brake reservoir does just that by permitting cross contamination of brake and clutch dust in the single reservoir. I have measured the DOT4 fluid temperature in my separate clutch reservoir and it has been consistently higher than the brake DOT 4 fluid. Keeping the brake fluid cooler is required especially if you drive the car hard like during track conditions. I'm been trying to figure a way to provide cooling for the clutch hydraulic system as I know that will benefit clutch and transmission operation. Ed M.

What is everyone using for the neoprene plug on the brake fluid reservoir? I got mine at AutoZone and I discovered that I get small amount of brake fluid leaking out of the tip of the plug. I think it's the seam on the plug that's leaking. It has happened with 2 different plugs. I should have taken pics but I cleaned it off and installed a 1/2" plug over the 3/8 plug for now. Any ideas?

I believe napa sells the EPDM Rubber plugs you need. little screw type hose clamps are usually too big to tighten up that small so I use zip ties to tighten the plug.

I have a bunch of the EPDM plugs in the correct size for the brake master cylinder. Bought them in bulk for the GTO remote reservoir install kit I sell. I too use a small zip tie to secure the EPDM plug ( the EPDM plug fits so well it really isn't needed ). PM me if you need the EPDM plugs or anything else.

Well guys I purchased this Ring Bros Billet reservoir for JRE to install with my ideal G master cylinder the Ring Bros Billet reservoir appears to piss out fluid out the top of the housing.. I just got a call from Ted @ JRE giving me bad news about my beautiful billet Housing that has for ever problem of pissing fluid every time the clutch is depressed as there is no inner baffle like from any typical master cylinder resivoir to hold brake fluid or separate the fluid from the atmosphere I have few hours of Ted's time to machine a new kewl housing and get it installed and bled and it pissed out fluid upon first push of the clutch. It make me mad that this reservoir is not what we need for a remote reservoir and COST me hours to find out it will not work as expected!!!! Had Ted order up 92065790 - RESERVOIR Last edited by RogerBzSS; 06-27-2012 at 04:36 PM. |
