When filling the clutch reservoir, should you fill it to the "Full" mark before installing the cap and bellows? Or should it be filled to a lower level, so that after the cap and bellows are installed, the fluid level is at the "Full" mark? When you install the cap and bellows, the bellows displaces some fluid causing the level in the reservoir to rise.
 
Have always filled to full mark.
 
Fjpikul: So you fill to "Full" mark BEFORE installing the cap?
 
Yes. Did you bleed the system at both locations( mid-firewall and down low back by rear right wheel?
 
Fjpikul: It is just a normal fluid change, no problems bleeding. Just wanted to be sure of the full level. If you fill to the "Full" mark, when you install the cap, fluid can overflow the reservoir unless you screw on the cap very slowly.
