Clutch Fluid change, never done this before Options

[PolliS_5S-FE]

hi guys i want to do a clutch fluid change as i have never done one before and i got a few questions.

does it require any specific tools (other than everyday ones sockets, spanners etc etc)

is it a relativly easy job 2 do?

Also what kind of fluid goes into the clutch, ive heard its the same as brake fluid but that doesnt sounds quite right to me.

As i said ive never done one before so i woudnt even know where to start lol. i can do basic maintanance oil change, coolant etc so would it be worth it to do it myself. im a real do it yourself kinda guy when it comes to cars. i reckon why pay someone to do it for u when u can do it urself and save money AND learn something new.

Any tips and info is much appreciated, thanks

honestly, you can do this with one person if you're just changing the fluid.

fill the reservoir, open the bleeder, let it dribble out while you keep adding clean fluid. when it runs clean, close the bleeder and you're done.


if you have air in the system, just gravity bleeding may remove it. give it a shot, otherwise you will need an assistant.
