[alfa] clutch MC rebuild

["Watry, Andrew (LNG-SFR)" <Andrew.Watry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If all the fluid's gone from the clutch reservoir, it could be the MC, the
SC, the hose, or one of the connections. I'd first suspect the SC.  It can
also be the throwout bearing arm have cracked and failed in the SC pushrod
dimple area, letting the pushrod, and piston, fall out, releasing all the
fluid.
 
I'd look the whole thing over carefully, top and bottom, before spending
money.  My own experience is that rebuilding the MC works OK, not great.  I
never seem to get as good a pedal with just new seals, compared to a whole
new MC.  I've never been clear why that is.  As long as you've got the whole
system opened up, it can be a good idea to replace the MC, SC, and hose.
And not have to worry about it for years.
