Removed from a running manual transmission Vanagon. No cracks or any problems. Comes with cap and float.  Best price you will find for an OEM Reservoir. This reservoir is a good upgrade for the earlier air cooled Vanagons also 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1983 since it has larger fluid capacity.. If using for an automatic the clutch nipple just needs to be capped. This is the lowest priced oem brake fluid reservoir on Ebay. So if yours is brittle and cracking time replace it with this one.
