Clutch reservoirs?
What types of reservoirs can i use to separate my clutch and brake fluids? I know about the GTOs but its on national backorder! What other year model or types of vehicles can i get one off of? I think i have seen a 1992 civic has the right reservoir?
If anyone can help to get me a list of possible reservoirs that will work? Im really in need of separating the two because of my stupid clutch pedal problems!

I bought one for a ford explorer and threw out the slave cylinder. $81.00 for the $19.00 part. Cheaper then the corvette one which was 219.00.
I wanted to put it in at the same time with the new clutch. |

I'm going to wait a bit and see if the Holden (GTO) reservoirs become available again. They seem to be perfect for the application and only about $20.

You can go to a junkyard and get one out of a donor car.. cost about $10.00.

I got mine from a 92 accord not civic from the junk yard it looks brand new after painting the mounting bracket that came with it. I got another reservoir just in case from some kind of Nissan while I was there as a backup five bucks each.

Dont they need to obtain a certain amount of fluid to allow displacement into the master cylinder when pushed? and dont they need that rubber gasket type thing on the cap to allow fluid in and out without sucking air into the clutch system?
If these are correct than i want a good reservoir for mine that wont leak. Ive heard of people having clutch problems and it was their cap not sealing... if that was true or not!! I really wish the gto reservoir would not be on back order!! ive been looking for a wrecked one around town.

I am also getting ready to do this mod. I am waiting until I so my brake upgrades since I will have it all out anyway!!
I am certainly looking to find out the best way to do this mod, and what parts will fit the best in my high HP application. |

Any more input out there? I want to find something that will hold a good amount of fluid just to be safe.

What do you all think of installing this one as a clutch reservoir?? Looks like it should bolt right in...
