[Fabman]

Sold...ordering now. Thanks for the help!

Once the cluch reservior is seperated from the hot brake fluid, it would be nice to have a finned alloy brake fluid reservior..... hint hint.....

Your welcome Fabman. I made the bracket out of ABS, shaped and bent it to for that area.

I can manage the bracket...

This was a cheap fix...thank you everybody for the insights.

I have the same one,but never got around to installing. What did you use to cap the stock reservoir nipple , and did the stock hose plug right into this one ?

I bought the auto trans brake fluid reservoir which has no plug for the clutch. And then the clutch hose does plug in perfectly.

I'm going to do the GM reservoir mod (expecting the loss of a few RWHP with a GM part under the hood ) in couple weeks, when I replace my master cylinder. My RTX clutch 'feel' has been disappointing since I replaced it last year. Very high engagement, jumpy, noisy and vibration in 1st gear. I read post from another GT500 driver that had some similar symptoms and replaced the master and most of his issue went away. Hoping for the same results with a fairly inexpensive fix. Plus, I figured I'd get the separate reservoir taken care of for a few extra bucks. I'll report back in a few weeks.

Ok, staying tuned in!

And.....there it is.
The 05-08 reservoir is the same for auto and stick.
The little nippie is just smashed shut for the auto.
Thank you all for the tip.

On a side note, I don't know if anybody else has noticed, but on both sides of the GM reservoir it has this embossed for some reason:

Or a special message to Ford owners using GM products?

Probably to let ford owners know that it was a Chevy part.

Got your nipple pinched? Must have hurt!

Would have been more obvious after/under the 'MAX' label.

Yup, always gets the back row giggling when it turns up on a bearing.

Haha. I installed the gm resivior a few months ago, but i checked my oil last sat and saw that "***" on there and laughed.

I put a sweat band/resivior cover/leak absorber over it.
