ZMANALEX Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Vlad, I have a hard copy of the procedure for changing the clutch fluid and proper bleed procedures. I will scan over and post up when I have a minute, however I will include a copy with your fluids and service stuff. Regards, Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Thanks might be a stupid question, but... before step 1....how do you get rid off old fluid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Suck 90% of it out from the reservoir with a small syringe and then refill with fresh. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaveney Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) I got through 500ml ish doing my one but that was with a fair bit of flushing and pipe change . Just don't let the fluid run too low or you will lose all pressure and need to prime the slave .

DarmoZ Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Is it best to install new braided lines and slave cylinder prior to fluid bleed / change, or after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Its worth trying a fluid change first but if it does turn out to be the cylinder you will have to bleed the system again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstraw Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 thread revival! is clutch fluid just brakefluid? if so should it also be upgraded to 5.1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Brake and Clutch are similar fluids. RBF 600 or 660 works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bezza1121 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Bleeding mine tomorrow with RBF 600, thinking the fluid is due a change. Hoping this will solve my recent inconsistent clutch feel and slight squeak noise when pressing down clutch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny the mod Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Afternoon people. Just been reading this issue as its just happened to me. Guess the best thing to do is replace cylinder and fluid just to be sure... I will probably get ATS to do it as its just around the corner, but can anyone tell me how much a new cylinder will cost so I dont get shafted.
