Question about clutch reservoir washer (top hat)?

Post by Image »

You know the rubber top hat thing in the clutch reservoir, when it's inserted into the reservoir should there be clutch fluid inside the 'upside down top hat'? Also, when I remove it it's always kinked, is this normal or do I need a new one and if so where do I get one?

There should only be fluid in the cup .
As the fluid lowers the rubber will lower into the cup .
Whenever I have removed mine it has kinked this is normal .
When refitting it should be in its normal compressed position without kinks .
