Default Clutch reservoir cap issue

Hi Guys


I have resently bought a 1998 wrx and i have noticed the reservior cap does not seal closed, it just keeps turning when you go to shut it and can lift straight off. i can see it look like its ment to lock down.

I called Subaru and they said its ment to do this and a new one will do the same. but im finding it hard to believe, can anyone let me know if its ment to lock down or just sit there before i waste money buying a new one


cheers

they turn, and can continue to turn if you do it hard enough, but they don't 'stop' like the brake reservoir cap

Hi Tuna


Is it ment to have a rubber seal inside or anything that makes he cap sit higher so the clips grip more on the sides?

Mine takes no effort to keep turning it around (as if the black hooks on the cap are too big)


Thanks again

They arnt tight tight, they should be firm, I think it may have just worn over the years. Just get a new one from subaru
