Brake and Clutch Fluid Change

[Sp3rMz]

I was thinking it was time to do a clutch and fluid change DIY styles. Is it possible to do it DIY and is it safe? I figured you flush and pour new one in. Thing is i think there more to it then that. Inparticular I wanted to change my clutch fluid as its filthy. Gone from clear to like a dark browny dirty colour.

God I'm an idiot. Search is my friend :( After reading the article is there any risk involved. What are the outcomes?

Incorrectly bled brakes = you or someone else, maybe dead.
Don't play with brakes if you don't know what you're doing...
For your own safety sake.

Clutch bled wrong = won't dissenguage.

Tip - if you don't have a phneumatic bleeder, you need an assistant.
1 to bleed, 1 to pump the pedal.
Do be careful though, it doesn't cost much to have it done properly.

Ok so don't touch brakes LOL. As for clutch, it's not that I'm trying to be tite, it's more of an expereince curve. Something I want to do for myself. Get more satisfaction out of it if you get what I mean.

no if you balls it up you wont be able to disenguage the clutch, but yes if you have air in your hydarulics or low on fluid you will have those problems.

so to sum up...

if i have air in my clutch fluid system:
1. cant disengage the clutch when i smoke the mofo
2. loose clutch free play
3. cant properly engage 1st gear

wont be able to select a gear with the engine running and the car stationary. ( wors case senario ) yes clutch freeplay, clutch engages lower. and yes wont be able to engage 1st gear. but also a rooted clutch can mimmic these symptoms as well
