I am looking for at least a cap to the clutch reservoir for my 1984 Trans Am. I've tried looking in parts stores, catalogs and even junkyards with no luck. Mine is cracked and is currently being sealed with duct tape. As any good mechanic knows water and/or air and DOT3 fluid don't mix. The problem I've been running into in Junkyards is just about every third gen I've found in the yards are automatics.

Anyone know where I can find the cap or the reservoir (its mount is cracked because of weathering outside for years without a hood on it)?

Thanks

 

try a dealer? Ive seen them on ebay, but not right now.

 

even if I did try the dealer i doubt they will have any. Most only keep parts for cars up to ten years old. I guess I am stuck with duct tape and Ebay hope I get lucky.

 

i've bought quiea few parts for my car form the dealer, they usually have to order it in, but a lot of the parts are still available. What do you have to lose? stop by and just ask, maybe you will get lucky.

isnt the cap the same for the 93-97 cars as well?

 

I've grabbed several of those caps off 4th gens in the junkyard, and they're identical as far as I can tell. It's usually pretty easy to find a V6/5 speed, 4th gen f-body in the yards. That'd probably be your best bet for finding one easily and inexpensively.

 

Are the S10 truck caps the same? Should be very easy to find one of those.

 

Hey guys. Thought I'd bump this post up with some new info. I was at the boneyard the other day, and I noticed the reservoir caps on the mid-80's Ford Rangers/Broncos, etc. have the exact same cap as our cars. All the GM cars were completely picked over, but there was probably a dozen Ford trucks where the clutch stuff was completely untouched. I grabbed about 3 or 4 of them. Heck they even had color choices, the typical white plastic ones, and solid black ones! Several of the reservoirs I looked at were identical to ours too.

 

The S10 clutch caps are the same. Hope this helps, Dean.
