hydraulic clutch in A body

Might try bleeding when hot.

How old is the fluid, as-in how old since the seal on the bottle was broken? Could be a good flush will help or cure it.

I use this for bleeding brakes and hyd. clutches. Long tube goes to the bleeder, short tube goes to intake manifold vacuum when doing brakes. I leave it disconnected for clutches.


May have to try it hot some day when I bring it home. Pretty sure the fluid was brand new and bought for the project. I may have had just a tad of previously opened new stuff in it at the beginning because I had it laying around, but pretty sure I blew most of that out on intial bleed. It did seem to get dark pretty quick though. Brand new throwout setup and master and in less than 6 months and probably under 1000 miles it's fairly dark. Not like brown syrup, but probably a medium to heavy amber.
