I am getting ready to bleed my clutch and replace all the fluid. I was wondering what fluid do I use... is there a better brand than another..?? Thanks in advance.

You use brake fluid for the clutch master cylinder. I put Valvoline SynPower DOT4 in mine. But it's really not going to make a bunch of difference with any kind you would use, unless you were to buy some completely generic store brand.

Even completely generic is fine for the clutch. DOT 4 or DOT 3 either one. The clutch isn't crucial like brakes, nor does the system deal with as much pressure and heat.

Thanks for the responses. I am getting ready to do the samething for the brake fluid. Is there a better brand brake fluid than others..?? Thanks again.

For brake fluid, go with DOT 4 and a recognized name. Prestone's easy to find.
