Question Clutch Fluid

How much Fluid should be in the clutch resevoir.??? ..Mine is only just over a 1/4 full...But the rubber insert goes down far enough to touch the fluid..There are 2 lines less than 1/2 way up...is that the fill line.....mine does not say....."Fill Line"....or anything like that...Thanks....

I always fill mine up so that when the rubber boot is in, the fluid comes up to the top of the cup. I think that's about where one of those lines is...

Not on mine..really..there are no lines above the 2 much below..weird..I did add some 3 years ago when this clutch went in......should probably change it......I figured that would be the answer..I have had many Manuals B4, and filled as you said..my first LSX Vehicle.....Thanks there, MeentSS02...

I think what MeentSS02 meant was that when you fill it up to one of those lines and put the rubber piece back in the fluid will reach to the top of the reservoir when the rubber piece displaces the fluid in the bottom, correct me if i am wrong.
