The clutch master cylinder reservoir is situated under the hood, on the left side of the firewall. It should be filled with a good quality DOT 3 Heavy Duty Brake Fluid. The fluid level must be visible at or above the step in the translucent reservoir body, and there is no need to fill above this point. As the clutch wears, the fluid level in the reservoir will gradually increase. Prior to removing the cap of the clutch master cylinder reservoir, ensure the vehicle is on level ground and clean any dirt from the top of the reservoir.

1. Position the hydraulic system downward into the engine compartment. The slave to master cylinder tube routing is to be above the brake tubes and below the steering column shaft. On 6-2.&L vehicles, the tube must lay on top of the clutch housing. 2. Insert the master cylinder push rod through the opening in the firewall, position the master cylinder on the firewall, and install the attaching bolts. Torque the bolts to 15-20 ft. lbs. 3. Position the fluid reservoir on the cowl opening cover and install the attaching bolts. Torque the attaching bolts to 15-20 ft. lbs. 4. Install the slave cylinder by pushing the slave cylinder push rod into the cylinder, engage the push rod and plastic bearing inserts into the release lever, and attach the cylinder to the clutch housing. With a new system, the slave cylinder contains a shipping strap that pre-positions the push rod for installation, and also provides a bearing insert. Following installation of the slave cylinder, the first actuation of the clutch pedal will break the shipping strap and give normal system operation. 5. For 2.0L, 2.3L engines: Snap the dust shield into position. Install the retaining bolt and tighten to 5-10 ft. lbs. 6. For 2.BL gasoline and 2.2L diesel engines: Install the bolts attaching the slave cylinder to the clutch housing and torque them to 15-20 ft. lbs. 7. Clean and apply a light film of oil to the master cylinder push rod bushing and install the bushing and push rod to the clutch pedal. Retain with the lock pin. 8.
