I think I read a thread on CF where Ranger suggests changing the clutch fluid, I believe he was saying that the stock fluid breaks down pretty fast, and if you rag on your car alot, the fluid will degrade pretty fast. Sounded like it becomes difficult to shift 2-3 or 3-4 at the track after a few runs.

Anyone?

From what I can tell on the CF is that Prestone Dot 3 is the best. Anything else seems to get black faster. I use ATE Super blue for the brakes. Prestone for the clutch. Just get a turkey baster and suck out the old stuff. Keep doing it until it gets clear. Check a week later. Repeat.

I'm going to use Motul RBF600 for my new Cartek clutch.

Super Blue DOT4 Racing Brake Fluid.

I used it in my Z28 and had zero problems even after long burnouts on slicks, never missed a shift!

I am using the same fluid in my ZO6 and no problems so far.
