Default Changing Clutch Fluid

just wondering when a good mi/time to change the clutch fluid is. I have a 99, its had the tranny fluid changed, but not the clutch fluid. car has roughly 35k mi and i believe original clutch fluid/brake fluid/p. steering fluid. thinking i might get it ALL done at the start of next yr

I change mine twice a year. I just drain the old fluid out of it by opening the bleeder and pushing the pedal down to the floor and holding it there. Then have the bleeder closed. I repeat this until I am just about out of fluid. Then I top it off and continue this process till I am almost out of fluid again. This way you don't pull any air into the system and you are flushing all the old stuff out of the system.

Open the cap on the reservoir, if the fluid looks black change it.
