Clutch fluid change help.
Discussion
Doable yourself, but I'd recommend use a lift or pit.

DIY in 10-15mins.
I can't find the YouTube vid at the moment, but essentially :
- syringe out dirty fluid from reservoir
- wipe it and cap
- fill with fresh fluid
- replace cap
- pump clutch 15-20x
- repeat process (6-10x from experience)
I would never have believed this would work, but eventually you end up with very clear fluid in the reservoir even after you've pumped the pedal. I'm sure it's not 100% effective like a full flush and replace would be, but it's so much easier that you can happily re-do it every 6months. You don't use that much fluid in the process as you are only filling the reservoir volume each time.
