Hydraulic Clutch Fluid - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

bb62 · 05-13-2018

1. Why is the hydraulic clutch fluid different than brake fluid?
2. Can I use DOT3 brake fluid in the clutch master cylinder? The GM manual note "Hydraulic Clutch Fluid (GM Part No. 12345347 or equivalent)". I know that Paul's write-up in Heart of the Beast Issue 48 shows DOT3, but that is not what the 95 FSM states.
3. Does anyone know the clutch/slave hydraulic fluid capacity? The 1995 GM shop manual for the Corvette does NOT have a listed capacity (neither does the operations manual in the glove box). This seems unbelievable to me.
