How do you repair broken clutch brake fluid reservior, mounting bracket that appears to be glued to the firewall from the inside? the reservior twists 90deg. and comes off and the tangs that engage the reservior broke out when i depressed the clutch pedal.

Fluid level checks Chrysler PT Cruiser 2001 2010 Petrol 2 4

Hello Henry.
There are a couple of possibilities.
First of all, check the fluid level in the reservoir under the hood. It is mounted on the firewall opposite of the clutch pedal. Remove the cap and pull the rubber boot out to fill it (with brake fluid ONLY!).
If it is empty there is a leak. It is usually one of two places. The master cylinder or the slave cylinder.
The master is mounted to the firewall and has a piston in it that pushes fluid through a line to the slave cylinder that is mounted between the engine and transmission.
Look for signs of fluid leakage and that will generally tell you which one needs repair.
The master on the firewall will usually leak on the inside of the truck where the rod from the clutch pedal goes to it and the slave will usually drip out the front of the transmission.

Hope this helps you to repair your Ranger.

The brake fluid goes in a semi clear reservior with a black cap which is mounted on the Master Cylinder that is located on the drivers side firewall. Most likely you are low on brake fluid that's why your light is on but it could be more in depth problem than that. Add the fluid first before and see if the light turns off.

There should be a small master cylinder for the clutch right next to the brake master cylinder, mounted more towards the fender. Remove the top cover and look inside. Regular brake fluid is used in the clutch system. If it's low, likely you have a leak so check where the rod goes through the firewall under the dash, the line itself and the slave cylinder (some are outside the bellhousing, others are inside and fluid will leak from the bottom of it.

It should be near the brake master cylinder, mounted to the firewall.

On the drivers side firewall near the brake fluid reservior you will find the clutch fluid reservior, a small black plastic cap will be on top of it.

It is close to the firewall on the drivers side of the vehicle (most vehicles) it will look almost identical to the brake master cylender just a much smaller scale. Add your fluid their.

Dry clutch res. is generally caused by a leak either in the clutch master cyl or the slave unit on the bellhousing. check both for leaks and replace as needed. Master will show seepage between unit and firewall... slave will have fluid under rubber dust boot. Make sure youbleed it (just like brakes) after you replace either.

it is a hydraulic clutch system, especially on the 89 prelude. I have one the exact year model, and i had a hole in the slave cylinder hose going to the transaxle from the slave cylinder.

To refill the reservior, use DOT 3 brake fluid. The reservoir is located just to the left of the brake fluid reservoir underneath the hood on the driver's side firewall. you can't miss it.

Hi jason,

The clutch fluid reservoir is mounted on the firewall next to the brake power booster.
