Clutch Fluid Recommendations

[Ty1]

Hey, I've gone crazy looking everywhere on these forums for clutch fluid recommendations and can't find anything. Having previously owned an auto I wouldn't have a clue what sort of fluid i can or can't use for the clutch. I have some leftover penrite SIN Super Dot 4 from a brake fluid change I did recently and was wondering if I can use that? And If I use one of those 'one man' brake bleeding kits for the clutch I'm guessing it would be the same process? hook up to bleed nipple and keep pumping pedal till fresh fluid comes through to the container? Thanks guys!

you should just be able to use brake fluid. just check the cap on the reseviour.

Yeah penrite SIN is good stuff, use the leftover you have in the clutch

Yep bleed proceedure is the same as brakes, depending on car you might have 2 bleed nipples (one on the master one on the slave). Can't remember which you are meant to do first.

Thanks man! i think i read somewhere there were 3 bleed points: master, slave and another one in between the master and slave and i think i start with master then work back to slave? If anyone can confirm this that would be great.
