Hi,

The car's clutch peddle stuck to the floor a few times. I suspect it is the clutch master cylinder.

I want to check the fluid level on the clutch master cylinder but cannot locate a separate reservoir for the clutch master cylinder. Is it the same as the brake fluid reservoir on this car?

This car, a 2004 Camry, has a 4-cylinder 2.4 liter VVT-i engine. The manual says in order to remove the clutch master cylinder, I have to remove 1) the air cleaner, 2) brake master cylinder, 3) power brake booster, then finally get to 4) the clutch master cylinder.

I wonder if there is any short cut. At least, I want to disconnect the minimal number of hoses on the break master cylinder. I only saw one rubber hose that connects the break and clutch master cylinders.

Any pointer and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

 

Here are the photos:
