What hydraulic fluid do you use? I know this is a dumb question but I wanna hear what you guys use.
Im using one, but its not dot 3 or dot 4 but its actually called "Clutch Fluid" that I was recommended by the guys at autozone. On the bottle it says it meets all OEM standards. Im thinking this could be why Im having problems with my hydraulic system.

Kind of what I figured....DO you think there could be any problem with not being able to get the clutch to disengage could have anything to do with using that fluid instead of dot 4?
problem is that you went to autozone. "clutch fluid" is just regular brake fluid; i bet you its more expensive than brake fluid. DOT 4 is what will work best for you. You can also use DOT 3 )lower boiling point) or DOT 5.1 (expensive as hell). You cant use DOT 5 though
