Default Clutch fluid change over

So I checked the fluid today in the master and it's pretty dark. I can't tell if it smells burnt or not because I have a cold and can't smell anything but I'm assuming it's not a good thing.

How do I go about completely changing it over? Do I need to completely bleed it out or is there an easier way?

I have read up a bit on the Mity-Vac method of bleeding but I can't imagine that will remove all the fluild without causing an issue.

Also, what fluid should I be buying to replace it?

Thanks.

Use the same procedure you would to bleed the system. MAKE SURE you keep the reservoir FULL or you'll be bleeding for a while.
