RE: [DML] Clutch fluid

[robert parker <roberthparker@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

  I put silicone brake fluid (Dot 5) in my clutch, also. No problems. It came from Kanter Parts, & it says it is compatable with all brake fluids.      Drive Stainless    Shift Smoothly   Robert VIN 6924

> Does the clutch hydraulic system also use DOT 4 fluid (like the brake system)?  I assume they would not have chosen to use two different fluid ratings for those two systems, but I hate to assume anything so I'm asking.  I should drain/refill my clutch system (having never done it before) and want to be sure I'm on the right track.  The heat from the crossover pipe (something I long to rid the car of as soon as possible) must degrade the quality of that fluid, over the years/miles.
