Clutch fluid

[Lex300]

Hi guys been reading around  about clutch pedals sticking to the floor mine doesn't do this thankfully that i know off . Ive only just my 350z so just learning my ways around . Apparently the clutch fluid should be clear . I just checked mine and its brown in colour . The car done 53k miles . Can i just change the fluid and everything will be good . As ive read some people change/flush it out with new and its brown again after a few thousand  miles. . Would i be best to put a braided line on and change the slave cylinder while changing the fluid. And what fluid is best to last long. Thanks

With the fluid being brown in colour, it is recommended to have it replaced. I use this as it's better suited to sprinted and long drives.

Thanks davey  would you recommend changing to a braided line and change the slave cylinder.  I see people wrap some sort of heat shield  sleeve around the pipe..

Hi, no not unless it's causing an issue. First action fluid change as it a serviceable item in effect.
