Default How do you change clutch fluid.

My brother has a m6 and the little resivoir next to the brake is full of black fluid but the bigger tank is still clear. So I'm assuming this is the clutch fluid and its not suposed to be black since it says to use brake fluid. So how do we go about changing the fluid.

Are you talking about the bigger tank on the left? The rectangular shaped one?? My brake fuild turned darker after a while because of the heat that the new headers give off...if that bigger container is empty, I hope his brakes work...

If I remember correctly the clutch resivoir fluid is supposed to be darker...

Not really, they're both filled with brake fluid, it's supposed to be clear. Bleeding the clutch is like bleeding brakes, there's a bleeder on the slave. The best way to do it is use a 1/4" breaker bar and socket, there isn't much room to reverse a ratchet.

its a small tank right next to the side of the car, and farther in towards the middle of the car is a bigger tank I am sure is the brake tank. the brake tank is clear but the smaller one is black liquid.
