I was bleeding my brakes the other day and I saw that while my brake fluid was clear, my clutch fluid is pretty damn dark. Now, ever since I installed my McLeod clutch last year, sometimes I have problems with the clutch not disengaging 100%, but if I double-clutch it it will disengage. Someone said something along the lines if the fluid absorbs water, it becomes black (and kinda useless). Is that what's happened to my clutch fluid...I would guess over 8 years and 113k miles? I know I can't bleed a clutch in our cars, so am I screwed?

 

Its a real pain, but you can pull the hydraulics and rebleed the system. Empty all the bad stuff out, reinstall it, then refill/bleed.

I did this not too long ago.

i thought all brake fluid goes black over time even if it stays totally sealed. im probly wrong though.

 

Is there a website or any documentation on how to do this?
