Thanks Mike!

I cant wait to see your writeup and how noisy you think the setup is ... that's a slight concern of mine.

Its a totally different setup on my 93.. its a McLeod twin disk with aluminum fw and the solid roller valvetrain plus exhaust with no cats all make quite the orchestra so it drowns out the rattle. Might be able top hear the high pitched tick when you get to the drivers door here

personally im Very tolerant. I don't really care if the rattle is very loud. Just knowing that much weight was removed is enough to make me happy. Im trying to make my car more raw.. more response.. more power, sharper handling etc etc. To me the factory c4 is a grand touring sporty Cadillac and that give me a perfect platform to modify.

I will definitely post videos to hear what it sounds like afterwards.

You guys are great!

I got a chance today to check the clutch master cylinder and it was BONE DRY!!!

Filled it , pumped the clutch a few times and I could feel the pressure get back to normal.

Drove it around the block and smooth as butter again! Grabs up at the end of the pedal again instead of right at the floor.

Thank you all so much, I will be ordering the replacement master and slave tonight

Im honestly surprised people say "just keep refilling it if its leaking".

Isnt brake fluid flammable?

Has anyone heard of a car catching fire from a leaky hydraulic setup or does most of the fluid leak on the drivers side carpet?

I guess the exhaust manifolds are a good foot from the hydraulics ... and most leaks are drips , not a spray ... right?

Just curious, thanks! ---

not that much fluid in there...usually it either is soaking your carpet pad if the master is failing or coating the inside of the bell housing.....if there is enough you might get a few drips from the inspection cover
