Fellow Z'ers.

Does the clutch release bearing setting need to be adjusted with clutch wear or does it only need to be checked and adjusted when a new clutch is installed?

The adjustments are to the clutch linkage. After it's adjusted correctly, the hydraulics are self-adjusting at the master cylinder and will take up disc wear, which is a tiny distance anyway.

Thanks, Zed Head.

Fear of snapping the reservoir off had my relying on a reading of the hydraulic fluid level through the translucent plastic. It was only when the clutch action rather suddenly changed that I took off the top and discovered: 1) essentially no fluid left and 2) what I thought was the fluid level was formerly fluid turned black gunk. Cleaned out the reservoir and bled the lines till the fluid ran clear. Clutch pedal height and play spec'ed out so I'm thinking I should be OK. And adding yet another level to the weekly under hood check.
