Clutch Fluid

I used standard brake fluid

I use DOT 5 silicone break fluid in my brake & clutch masters for over 3 years now w/ no problems except the expense (about 25.00 a quart) but since it won't harm painted surfaces it is much cheaper than paint repair if you should spill some. I change it about every 18 months.

Listen to Gary! The $25 is WELL worth it. My plastic clutch "tube" blew spewing brake fluid all over my beautifully finished engine bay. IF YOU STILL HAVE A RED PLASTIC (OEM) CLUTCH TUBE CONNECTED TO YOUR SLAVE CYLINDER, DON'T WAIT FOR IT TO FAIL! REPLACE IT WITH A BRAIDED STAINLESS LINE. I bought mine from PanteraEast, about $80. Literally a 20 minute job.

Pantera Performance Center in Colorado has a better price...(sorry Pantera East).
Mooso.

I had an interesting event with my braided stainlees clotch line. Apparently, I didn't have a great ground on the groundstrap at the transaxle and the clutch tube somehow got a hole burned through it!! I have since added another groundstrap at the engine block that I bolt on where the cross member brace bolts in, no problems since.
