Land Cruiser clutch master cyl

[gordon stephenson]

I am about to change the master and slave cylinders on my Land Cruiser,Just curious as to why they have a free floating disc in the reservoir. It's not a level indicator,Is it there to prevent fluid spurting about when you take your foot of the clutch pedal a bit smartish? never ever come across this before.

It might be to stop fluid splashing when going over rough ground.

Or the bloke on the production line wondering where his biscuit he was going to have with his cuppa has gone?

I'v had the Cruiser years,and didn't even realise there was a disc floating on the fluid, Only found it after looking at the new one in the box and wondering what the black disc thing was.
