PostPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2004 8:50 pm 
Anybody have or had problems with the clutch fluid reservoir leaking into the cab? Mine leaks from the ram in the firewall. I really don't want to replace it. Any suggestions?

if its leaking down the fire wall your master cylinder is going out. I dont think its teribly hard to change out.

It is easy to replace, and really quite easy to rebuild with the kit as well. The hardest part is getting the system bled again after reassembling it. If you have fluid coming in the cab, then the master cylinder needs replaced or fixed. There is no way around it, just a matter of time before you suck air into the line and the clutch no longer disengages. I drove my 76 every day for a week without using the clutch the last time I had that problem.
