I believe you can get kits for clutch master cylinders, but a pitted
cylinder wall means you should just get a new one.  Based on your email
address, I'll assume you are in Sacramento.  If you call for price quotes,
these two places will probably come out the cheapest:  Foreign Parts
Specialties, on Elvas, and European Auto Parts on 16th St.

There is a drain plug on the bottom rear of the transmission.

That's the fill plug.

Sorry, mine doesn't have a plastic cap.  Are you sure it's not a backup
light switch?  I'm not sure if your trans. is auto. or manual.  That would
make a difference.
