I have been noticing kinda of a sticky feeling when I let my clutch out slow or up slow. I am thinking of just flushing the clutch fluid and see if that makes it go away. what do you guys use? OEM fluid? is there any reason to use an aftermarket fluid? Thanks.

 

The book calls for DOT 3 (or 4) for the clutch. I used DOT 4 Valvoline synthetic at the last flush.

Changing the fluid is pretty easy to do and sure worth a try. Many of us have found that there was no lubricant used (or at least visible) on the clutch and shaft so the components did not move smoothly and quietly.. but that is harder to deal with.

I am having same symptoms...

 

As long as it is still sealed and check the specs to ensure it meets DOT requirements.

 

If it were me, I would look for the longest lasting, least hygroscopic fluid. The temperature demands on the clutch fluid are very small compared to the brakes. There isn't much reason to use an expensive, high performance, short lived fluid.

That is a good point.

It's pretty cheap - about 5 bucks for a 400 ml can and that's all you'll need.
