Im going to change my brake fluid with the ATE super blue brake fluid and want to know if I should just go ahead and change the clutch fluid with ATE super blue as well. Is there a special ATE super blue clutch fluid or do I use the same fluid for both brakes and clutch? Also, how much fluid do the brakes and clutch hold? I want to know how much to purchase.

Thanks

and aparently my searching skills are subpar........ sorry

Considering the brakes and clutch use the same reservoir...if you change out the flui in the brakes....you might as well bleed out the clutch as well.

If you are careful...you can flush/bleed the entire system with one litre of ATE.

Just to be safe...might want to have 2 for the first time.

Thanks for the quick reply guys. So if they both use the same reservoir, by bleeding the fluid out of the brake system am I also bleeding out the clutch system? or will I have to do them both seperately?

There is fluid in the reservoir and in the lines to each item - the brakes, the clutch. You will have to bleed both to push the old fluid out of the lines.

Ooops, when I bleed mine yesterday I just bleed for Brakes. damn I completely forgot about the clutch !

Guess I will bleed again tomorrow.

Btw, I bleed the system in this order

MC - RR - RL - FL - FR - MC again

so should I bleed the clutch in this order ?

MC - RR - RL - FL - FR - Clutch - MC ?
