How to flush the clutch fluid???

I think my Slave Cylinder is screwing up, causing problems shifting my car. I was checking it out, and noticed the clutch fluid line goes 1/4 away from a header primary, so I think it boiled the fluid. The fluid is all dark brown and gross colored now. What is the easiest way to drain out ALL the old fluid, and then bleed the system as I add fresh?

Re: How to flush the clutch fluid???

Remove the master and slave cylinder as an assembly. There are push pins on either cylinder that connect the hydraulic line. Remove these. Drain the system. Flush with new hydraulic fluid until it comes back out clean. Reconnect to car. Refill system with slave cylinder disconnected, and every once and a while work the slave cylinder back and forth to remove bubbles. Once you work it about 10 times in and out and get no bubbles, and reservoir level is high enough, reconnect the slave cylinder to the bellhousing and you're done.
