    If the mounting arrangement is at all similar to the 92 ECO, with
molded plastic tongues slipping into a grooved metal bracket, pop for
a new one from Halsey.  Cost was around $35 + -.
    Vibration allows the bracket to abrade a hole in the reservoir.
That can be fixed with JB Weld.  Unfortunately, over time, the barbed
ends onto which the hoses fit can also crack.  Don't be surprised when
you replace it if one or both ends break off and remain in the hose.
It doesn't hurt to flush the system while you're replacing the
reservoir, either, and might save the seals in the rack.  Also, plan
on re-tightening the clamps periodically.
    Finally, if the duffle bag is big enough, don't forget to check
the transmission codes.  Good FF and FN trannies are worth
stockpiling.
