Author Topic: Billet Clutch Reservoir Question (Read 1060 times)

hey Guys,

I'm finally installing my Tremec 5 speed with hydraulic clutch and I have a question. The kit came with a plastic clutch reservoir. I would like to get something a little nicer. Of the two below one comes with the diaphragm and one doesn't. Also one is cheaper.

Do I really need the diaphragm?
What is it's function?
What are your thought on either? Thanks

I like the looks of the ring brother one better but that's just my

Sure is a lot of money for what it is/does.

I agree but there isn't a lot of options except for the plastic ones. I line the cheaper one that's just my opinion.

I bought one similar to the Summit Racing one....I don't see a use for the diaphragm

options? would a motorcycle reservoir be big enough?

I would prefer a diaphram as I believe it to have a better seal. I do not want Brake Fluid on ANYTHING.

The Billet Specialties one I bought is sealed with an O ring in the cap.
