So I hop in the car one painfully frigid night to drive a friend to his car. "Boy," I say, "what a good friend I am. Not only does my friend not have to walk all the way to that remote parking lot, but he gets to ride there in style and warmth."
You can imagine the pain I felt deep inside when I shot my left foot to the floor of the foot well and met little to no resistance! I cried out in anguish and pain, knowing immediately not only what had happened, but that I would not be charitably driving my friend home, and that my dear friend Euni (the car) would be off of the road for a long time, until parts, tools, and warm weather intersected.
So, my friends, help me in my quest. I need a part.
I lost the clutch reservoir cap some time ago (while rebuilding the cylinders) and though I had temporarily stretched saran-wrap and a rubber band over the reservoir, that strategy can only last so long. With the cap off (I theorize here), the system was not closed off completely, so leaked and evaporated out (and filled with air) over the past couple of months. I've done quite a lot of driving since I lost that cap (e.g. back and forth from school 100 times, to VA from CT and back). It looks like it finally got to me.
I popped the hood and the reservoir was BONE DRY. I'd checked it about two weeks prior and it appeared fine.
I know I might end up rebuilding the cylinders again, but I don't want to do that until I can rule out the cap and bleed out the air.
What I'm asking for is that cap, or one like it (that would fit). I'm willing to pay, and/or to pay for shipping. Just having one makes you a saint.
