rao Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Auto transmission owners - you are obviously lost so go read another thread It is cheap and easy. RC0032 and I did both of our cars today. 1. Remove intercooler 2. Top off clutch reservoir 3. attach tube to bleeder on slave cylinder 4. push clutch pedal to the floor 5. open bleeder 6. Pull clutch pedal back up 7. Repeat until you have run fluid through the system and no more air bubbles come out - it is just like bleeding brakes but easier and you can do it without a helper (which is sort of like having RC0032 around ). It will not make a night and day difference, but it does improve clutch feel and the fluid does absorb water - it is brake fluid after all.

Opie Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Great advice, anyone with clutch or brake fluid that has gotten dark (it should be a very clear yellow) should get them flushed/bled. Same goes for the Power Steering fluid, if it's no longer pink (as it is ATF) it should be flushed... Helps with performance, and prevents problems down the road.

rc0032 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Its a maintenance thing. Will your car stop better if you bleed the brakes? Its a good idea for a long healthy car life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 ^No, it won't stop better, but the differential will engage more smoothly and the turbo will spool faster. Believe me. I wouldn't lie to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
