Rubber Cup in Clutch Reservoir? Can I take it out? I have been having trouble with my clutch and thus have been adding fluid to replace what has been leaking out. Parts are on their way, but until then every time I put the fluid in, then the rubber cup in the reservoir, it spills all over and there is not very much fluid in there. Is the cup supposed to have a hole in the bottom or something because otherwise the only purpose I see for it is to act as a seal. My main question is, will it hurt to drive w/o it in? Because I should be able to go longer between refilling the fluid and it won't spill all over anymore. TIA

Just wondering. My leak is at the master cylinder or the braided line that connects up to the m/c. Anyways when I ordered the new one, the parts guy told me it was a new kit (m/c, rubber lines, braided line, new reservoir and everything). Since I am replacing the slave again I will be sure to have new everything (minus the clutch which is still in great condition), so my leak(s) should go away. It's pretty bad when I fill it up in the morning and have to refill it for evening driving. We'll see how it goes. [Frustrated LS1 owner crosses his fingers].

I took mine out, cut a rubber glove and stuck the piece of the rubber glove around the top, and then closed it. My rubber thing was ripped, and this has worked fine for me!
