I put DOT 4 in the one I am going to replace, works fine and is the recommended fluid when you order parts

Re: Clutch Fluid
FWIW: Bill B. recommends using Valvoline synthetic DOT 3/4 as clutch fluid.

Re: Clutch Fluid
As Locobob stated and not DOT 5 Bill B told me it ruins the system internally

Re: Clutch Fluid
Surely Redline makes something that... Oh, right, this is the forum.
 I use the GM stuff as well. From what I've heard the only real difference between it and brake fluid is it has some stuff to keep it from squeaking.Does the clutch fluid really get worked enough that synthetic is necessary?
