Default What type of fluid are you using in your clutch M/C?
What type of brake fluid are you using in your clutch systems? Currently I'm using ATE Super Blue that I got from Sam when I did my brakes. I checked the fluid the other day because I'm having some clutch/transmission issues and noticed that there were the little blobs in the reservoir. The fluid isn't burnt or black.

Should I be using something else?

Thanks.

Jason

regular old dot 3 went in mine. Most everything I read here say stay away from 4 or higher as it'll eat seals.
