Billman, if that’s the case, what if you need to replace the master and slave due to leaking? What is the best method to use for flushing/replenishing the fluid?

Thanks

 

Suggestions on fluid?


And thanks for the Info Billman! Will be doing this, and a few other little things this weekend.

 

I remember a thread where someone said there is better than ATE blue for clutch fluid.

Any comments on that?

 

Do you guys keep the open bottle of fluid when you guys just change the fluid from the top?

 

any dot 3 fluid will work it doesnt heat up nearly as much as the brake fluid so no need for anything crazy expensive just need it to resist moisture

 

Figure out which one it is thats leaking first

 

Brake fluid isn't that expensive. I'd feel more comfortable with opening a brand new bottle and changing the clutch fluid and then using the rest to swap some of the fluid in the brake reservoir.

 

Better?
Thinner, yes.

ATE SL.6 is a thinner fluid.
Works good with my ACT pressure plate.
For an OEM PP it may be overkill - makes the clutch feel too soft aka "not sportscar like"


ATE SL.6 works very well in the brakes, no matter what.
It made the ABS react quicker, especially in the cold.
And usually, when it IS cold - below freezing - you have slippery conditions where ABS is a great help.

 

wouldnt sucking the fluid out allow air to get into the line?????
isnt that why when you bleed it from the bottom you always want to keep it from getting too low??

 

But there would still be fluid in the clutch line
