What is best Brake Fluid for clutch?
#3
Im pretty sure for the clutch you wanna use dot 3, not sure if dot 4 will work but I know some of the break fluid says good for dot 3 or 4 applications. Just dont use dot 5 b/c its silicone based and will harm your brakes

dot 4 will work, as dot 3 and 4 are interchanable dot 4 is just better, has a higher boiling point and is less likely to retain moister. Any clean new brake fluid will work though.

Hi,
I have a 84 that when I went to start it and pushed the clutch in it went right to the floor. Got some brake fluid and filled it up and it ran right out under the car.Before I go under the car.
Just a few questions for ya.
1- Where is the master cyl. located for the clutch?
2- Do you bleed it like the master cyl. for the brakes?
I haven't been under a car for about 30years.
Thanks Bob
