Re: Clutch Fluid

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

If the fluid is thick and black it is ruining the parts. It gets that
way by absorbing moisture and corroding the innards of the system. The
best thing you can do now is to try to flush it out THOURGHLY and use
Castrol GTLMA DOT 4. It seems that it is the only one that is
recomended for use in British cars. It is also supposed to be flushed
out every 2 years in the clutch AND the brakes. I suggest you try to
remove as much fluid from the master cylinder an possible and then
fill with Castrol flushing and bleeding each caliper and slave
cylinder until the fluid runs clear with no dirt or air.
