Separated my clutch reservoir tonight

[Lio Martinez]

Where can I buy these seperate reservoirs ? How much ? Do they come with instructions ?

I bought mine from JDP motorsports. They are a sponser here I believe. They have a stage I kit and a stage II kit. The difference being with the stage II kit you get a new brake master cylinder reservoir that has a plug molded onto the reservoir where the clutch hose would connect to. If you go with the stage I kit then they just send a long an EPDM cap to clamp on over the old clutch hose nipple.

I know they have instructions for the stage I kit but I believe they are still working on finishing up the instructions for the stage II kit. The majority of the install is the same either way with the exception of the stage II kit being you'll need to remove the old reservoir that came on your car and replace it with the new reservoir that comes with the stage II kit.

If you read the other thread I started in the brakes forum there is more discussion there about what this does for you and why it's a good idea.

I've been looking into this as well, from what I have seen some guys on here right, it could become and issue down the road, if that's so why would GM combine them? I have an RS.

Because in 1987 American Airlines removed ONE olive from each salad that was served in First Class - and they saved $40,000.

The cost of the separate reservoir + the two bolts adds up to hundreds of thousands of dollars when you think how many camaros are being made.

Plus the money made on service work when a system fails. At the same time, the line has to be drawn somewhere or we end up paying $50K plus instead of in the $30K range. It may never cause any harm, but it may, and the mod parts guys are laughing all the way to the bank. It is what it is!

"removed one olive... saved $40,000..."

And then the Olive union held a strike and the airline lost $40 million.

Good analogy!

Laughing at how this is ALL new again. If you do no other mod to your LS3 do this one. Google 'Ranger and Corvette' to see why. He started all this... oh Ranger? Just a multiple world record holder for 1/4 mile runs in stock vettes. Change this fluid with every fill up or a day at the track. Not only saves breaks but improves clutch performance!

I just did my clutch reservoir today. Way easier than I thought it would be. Wiggling the line from the master cylinder to the new clutch reservoir to eliminate bubbles was great advice. I found that pinching the line worked the bubbles out a lot faster. Great thread! Helped me a lot!
