Clutch Master Cylinder Resorvoir Empty / Cap Stuck?! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

SteelBlueZR1 · 08-30-2011

My 1991 ZR1's Clutch Resorvoir cap is stuck and the resorvoir appears to be empty. Does anyone have any other ideas on removing the cap that I've tried turning counter-clockwise with my hand and a large wrench? I am concerned about breaking the plastic resorvoir. I tried pushing down while turning, all to no avail.
Also, my car has just 3,700 miles and came out of storage, so what should I look for as the cause of fluid loss? The clutch operates, but first gear and gear are somewhat cranky at times.
Last, what do you think about using Prestone synthetic Dot4 Fluid when I finally open this and flush and refill the clutch resorvoir? Thanks in advance for the help.
