I used to know this but: 1. where does the clutch master cyl get its fluid from? which reservoir? 2. my 900 Turbo clutch just went--pedal to the floor after 10 sec or so and it wants to go so I presume either the bearing has gone or spring or all ? 3.. cost estimate? and is it worth fixing on a '81 with 225 km --some body rust but still a great drive. Opinions?
