These reservoir covers designed to absorb minor clutch and master cylinder reservoir leaks.

That is it.

I just put dirty sweat socks on mine. They smell so bad, the leaking fluid doesn't want to leave the cylinder.

I need one to put around my shiftknob in the winter so I don't have to touch the damn thing when the car's been sitting out in the cold for a while!

I just string together some tampons and wrap the resevoir with that. Absorbs great. No leaking I do have to change it out every month though.

Mine never leaked or ate my paint in 5 years of owning the same car.

I guess I don't turn fast enough.

But proper maintenance doesnt. If your **** don't leak, you won't ruin your paint.

THE TRUTH

started with spoon, because spoon sport is the new rice. but spoon is expensive, and wristbands are on the bottom of the price list so the ricers buy those. best of both worlds-cheep, and mAd JdM yO
worse is the companies bringing in these wristbands in bulk. then you call a majority of Spoon Sport authorized dealer and ask them for any part, and its special order. when you ask what spoon products that they DO have in-stock, you get the....radiator caps, oil caps, "resivoir covers", and shift *****.


and for those who are saying you bought these to keep the fluid from coming out of the resivoirs, thank you. i needed a good laugh

beacuse you seee a cool sweatband and its cheap so you buy it. then you get home and remember that it just looks stupid if you wear it, so you try to find another use for it and the only othr use you can think of is to put it on your brake resivoir even though you know you dont need it and its kinda rice. so you put it on, look at it and smile, then close your hood and completely forget about it until you open your hood again and someone asks you what that sweat band is for. they you make up some dumb excuse or say "BURING BURING!"
