97 5spd clutch reservoir cap

I am looking for 97 5spd clutch reservoir CAP, 2x4, 4cyl regular cab. I find it for Rangers up to 96. At this point the only way I can find to get the cap for a 1997 is the complete cylinder and rod on Amazon for $37. I am trying to google to find another option put not sure why I am having issues with finding one for a 1997. Find it hard to believe it has such a unique cap.

Thanks for your help.

What changed from '96 to '97 ?

I did some quick searching on the Web, found the complete Master Kit as you said, no Covers Only !

IMHO...
1) Might be the best idea to find a Salvage Yard or Pick-A-Part Yard and see what you can find.
2) Make sure the Gasket is in-place and intact; maybe give it a coating of silicone spray or spread some silicone grease on it and let it set, then wipe it off before using.
3) Make sure the Cap isn't cracked, age and heat can cause the plastic to deteriorate; if you can't see one, twist it a little.

Luck on your search.

I have no idea the difference between the years. I now know that the kit is the same for many Mazda B series years. Maybe Mazda supplied them after that? I gave up on looking for just a cap. Locally nobody had just a cap, or at least no one knew of and it is too cold and I don't feeling like searching through a junk yard. I just bought a new assemble off Amazon. Rock Auto has them cheaper but Amazon prime gets things here MUCH quicker.

Took a look on Amazon, Kit looks good, it is one thing you don't have to worry about.

Before installing, look the part all over, check for anything that look wrong, sometimes a leak can be waiting to happen.

Enjoy the mod.
