It not just the resivour. There's a stamp on the side of the master cylinder. 13/16, 7/8, 15/16, 1 and etc.

thats the size of the piston. higher it is the larger.
ITR is 1"
Civic EX is 7/8
GSR 15/16
Civic DX is 13/16

thats about all i know of since thats all i'v used so far. hehe.

Oh and thats why i mentioned rockauto. they have real good prices. i recently bought a 15/16 master from them and it works great.

You should be able to pick one up from the junkyard from a clean model. Just make sure you get the right size and get OEM!
