I wondered about that -- I was thinking that the clutch feed was from
the very bottom of the reservoir, but of course that would be a
stupid way to do it.  And worse, I had that very situation on the
'84, ran for several days topping up the clutch every twenty shifts
or so.  Now I feel dumb for not remembering.

ps -- back in the day, I ruined a nice pair of Hush Puppies with my
Sunbeam Alpine II, because the leak was inside the firewall.  Of
course that had a separate reservoir for the clutch.
