Smelling burning clutch fluid when i back out of my driveway.
This forum covers many areas regarding this topic.
Eventually I will replace stock clutch with ZR-1 clutch,,until then where is my clutch fluid reservior.???????
I was hoping to change fluid until Santa dellivers new clutch.....I would llike to examine the existing fluid to check for debris,,but i cannt find it.
Any help would be appreciated!!!!!

Thanks TED

i believe the clutch uses the brake reservior.

i.e. both clutch and brakes are on the same reservior

It is the same reservoir.

I had the same problem. After talking with some people about the shared reservoir, I did a little research and found that the shared reservoir is bad on the brakes and clutch. It allows fluid to be contaminated turning it very dark almost black. I seperated the brakes/clutch by adding a seperate reservior for the clutch. The reservoir is out of a 2006 GTO. All the parts cost about $30.00. Too date, my brake fluid is still clear and my clutch fluid is darker. Also, changing the clutch fluid is easily done to make sure you don't destroy a slave cylander. I haven't had anymore problems since I seperated them over 3,000 miles.
