Master Cylinder and Reservoir

The hydraulic clutch system operates much like a hydraulic brake system. When you push down (disengage)
the clutch pedal, the mechanical clutch pedal movement is converted into hydraulic fluid movement, which is
then converted back into mechanical movement by the slave cylinder to actuate the clutch release lever.
The system consists of a combination clutch fluid reservoir/master cylinder assembly, a slave cylinder
mounted on the bellhousing, and connecting tubing.
