I have removed  clockcapacitor the but I was unfortunate to find same exact specs.

My understanding the  clockcapacitor is 2.5v 1F is this correct? 

online order is not an option for me as of now...I am tring with local store, or to scrap from old motherboard a capacitor that would suffice

so what would be the (range) of capacitor voltage/Farad ..... i.e would a capacitor with 6.3v /1000uF work as a replacement.

That is an interesting question.. The original capacitor was filled with Aerogel. I think it was actually called a supercapacitor.  SS_Dave is right you can just leave it off. It acted like a small battery that would hold the setting if unplugged or power outage. But it would only hold the setting for about 45 minutes then you had to reset the XBOX anyway. I don't know if a regular capacitor would hold the setting that long.  I used this one  https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=493-3291-ND

That would be fine as a replacement.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
