My car is now 7 years old, and while I've flushed the brake fluid several times, I realize I don't know how to flush the clutch fluid.

I've sucked the contents of the reservoir out, but don't know how to get to the slave to do it right.

Is there a how-to somewhere?

Do a search for posts by Ranger. I think he just sucks out what you can and refills. That's what I do.

Suck out old, put in new and cycle the clutch pedal, suck out and refill, cycle pedal. It will work its way out over time.

If you use DOT 4, it seems to be a little denser compared to DOT3. In the attached photo you can see the plume of old DOT3 working its way up into the DOT4.

There actually is a way to bleed it from the slave, do a search-chances are you won't want to do it once you see how to. That's why people add remote bleeders to the system when they do new clutches.

I found this:
