Default Clutch Fluid Inspection And Drainage

Ok so like lots of F-Body owners i have a spongy clutch pedal so im gonna bleed it and see if it helps. Just a quick question if the fluid is black then its bad right? And if its bad how do i drain the system before adding new fluid. Any input would be great and im gonna try and get this done tonight so if u have any advice i would appreciate it.

PS: Im gonna try the mighty vac method.

Black is bad. You want it clear. Bleed it periodically to help life of the clutch and the trans

Thanks for your response i have since diagnosed the problem as a leaky slave cylinder so i will order on from monster and change it. So my question is how difficult is it to replace your slave. Also anything i need to whatch out for?
