Clutch Fluid Change
#21
Yes that is a good idea.
But I don't want to advise anyone to do anything that could potentially get air in the system. Air is hard to remove on this car, and I don't want anyone bashing up their transmission due to air.
I estimate 80% of people who tried a complete flush will be back with another thread that says their clutch pedal feels like crap, and they've bled and bled but cannot get the pedal right.

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

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.

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.
