#1: changing clutch and brake fluid Author: gogs_macaulay, Posted: Thu Oct 24, 2013 4:13 pm ---- want to change the clutch and brake fluid
1. whats the best stuff to go for or what do i need
2. how do u bleed the clutch?
i know how to bleed brakes but no idea with the clutch. also can i drain the fluid through the brake system or do i need to do it with the clutch too?

As far as i know the MA box is cable operated and has an auto adjuster.
Sorry, the above is incorrect as per the the more knowledgable person below
Hope this helps, Richard. Last edited by RichardEke on Sun Oct 27, 2013 7:12 pm; edited 1 time in total

Same way as brakes but via the clutch slave on the side of the gearbox ..
As for fluid, whatever is recommended ... so probably stick with bog standard DOT 4 or may be 5.1 NOT DOT 5 as that is for a different braking system as the two don't match (5.0 can destroy the seals in the wrong system!)
And don't splash any on paint ... world's best paint-stripper ... and very very hard to repaint as it gets in the metal!

things you will need:
1. A buddy
2. a large turkey baster/syringe or something like that
3. some hose like what used in a fish tank... i like to use a clear hose so i can see if there are bubbles in the line. and a bottle.
4. 11mm, 8mm spanners.. closed 6pt box type not the multi point dont want to strip those bleed nipples.
5. Jack, axle stands wheel spanner, etc if you're thin enough and you can fit under that can work too.
well just read that u can bleed brakes so same procedure and you'll be using the 11mm spanner. it bleeds right on the slave cylinder on the gearbox. just dont get brake fluid in your eyes

#7: Re: changing clutch and brake fluid Author: gogs_macaulay, Posted: Sun Oct 27, 2013 10:43 am ---- where is the slave cylinder on the gearbox? under the battery?
#8: Re: changing clutch and brake fluid Author: broadblaster, Location: south coastPosted: Sun Oct 27, 2013 12:13 pm ---- also on a 180 rember to never let the reservoir run dry because if you get ANY air into the abs pump you will need pp2000 to actervate the pump so you can bleed it out.
