Thanks. Now I have to wonder if he rebuilt the brakes too.
I suspect he did not. I guess if I put in DOT 3/4 and one of the liquids
floats like it did in the clutch, I'll know. Maybe I should pull some out
into a vile, and try it separately. But, for all I know, different brands, or
DOT 3 versus DOT 3/4 will do that too.
I'm marking my clutch caps with a permanent marker for the next guy!
