[QUOTE="XP900, post: 16633664, member: 199546"] Your brake fluid may be very dark or black and it may be hard to even see the level of the fluid from the outside. If so your clutch dust is mixed in it. If that is the case get the kit to separate the clutch from the brake reservoir - each will then have their own reservoir. I think it is like $90. You can change the brake and clutch fluid once the two systems are separate but your clutch system will get dirty again very quickly - no way to really stop it without changing the hydraulic assembly. It probably doesn't really hurt the clutch system...deal with it when you replace your clutch. You don't want that clutch dust in your brake system though...flush brake system and clean out reservoir completely. On mine my brake system fluid is now always clean but my clutch system fluid gets dirty almost immediately and I just flush the reservoir every few months now. For brake and clutch fluid use that new Bosch ESI6 fluid (RockAuto has it cheap) unless you track your car and need something even better. I switched all my cars to this new fluid since it has good properties and an extended service life. [/QUOTE]
