Fluid

So I recently (6 weeks) flushed all the old fluid and put new fluid in. Why is it this dark already?

Now onto the clutch fluid. I used a Motive pressure pot to aid in this. However, the cap of the pot kept popping off my clutch fluid reservoir....this is where my 10 year old came in.

WARNING: I think we all should know this by now, but if you don't...

DO NOT GET BRAKE FLUID ON YOUR PAINT!!! it is highly corrosive and will eat through your paint quickly.

Tools needed for this.

8mm socket for clutch bleeder screw, can be a short wall or long wall.
1/4" ID hose or larger, about 10 inches long.
a quart or so of DOT 3 brake fluid.

This is very similar to bleeding the brakes with the Motive bleeder. Simply fill the pot with brake fluid, attach cap to clutch fluid reservoir, pump the pot to 8-10psi, get under the car and loosen the bleeder valve, wait until the new fluid is nice and clear with no bubbles and you are done.

Here's a few pics.

The bleeder valve is on the drivers side of the transmission, just between the catalytic converter brace and the crossmember. It's much easier to see if you remove the rear underbody cover (five 10mm bolts and two clips).



Here's the Motive pressure pot.

After bleeding (sorry, no in-process pics of this..it was kind of messy)


That's about it. Pick everything up and take the car for a drive now!

Thanks for the reply.
Although that's what I already did only 5-6k miles ago/6 weeks ago. Yes unfortunately I have to drive about 1k miles per week.

But why is it so dark already. What in the system could be causing this issue?
