Clutch Fluid Well I've started noticing that my car is experiencing the infamous sticking clutch pedal. I checked the fluid yesterday and its looking pretty dark so I'm gonna try changing the fluid and see if that helps. So how difficult is it to change out the fluid or should I just take it to a service center and let them do it?

just use a hydraulic needle thing(similar to those flavor injectors you find in the cooking aisle of the grocery store) to suck out the dirty clutch fluid in the reservoir and put brand new dot4 fluid in and then press the clutch puddle 20ish times to recirculate the fluid repeat this process 12 times or so and you should be good. I know it sounds rediculous but the only other way is even more difficult if you dont know what your doing.
There was a good writeup on this somehwhere but I cannot find it now that the search feature is not working.

I use a turkey baster to empty out my dirty clutch fluid. Then refill with fresh Dot4 fluid.
It does take a few times to clean all the fluid up though.
I would do it myself, as its pretty easy.
