Clutch Fluid Change
I'm currently working with a "turkey baster" and am asking if anyone knows where I could get a larger syringe type to extract the fluid out. It would be a little easier and less messy, or what does everyone else use?? Thanks.

If you have an air compressor why not get a one man brake bleeder ? I got one from Groit's for under $40 and it works great. It uses the air to draw the fluid out of the container. It can also be used when changing brake and clutch lines. Best money I ever spent.

The 60ml syringe i dont think is for sale at walmart. Ebay or amazon is the place to get them or possibly ur local medical supply store. And just to suck up ur clutch fluid is a lot easier and quicker with a syringe than pulling out an air compressor imo. For bleeding brakes an air compressor may be a better solution, but for the ranger clutch fluid change too much hassle.

DON"T use a turkey baster as the plastic will be destroyed by the brake fluid and you risk the thing falling apart in your hands and getting brake fluid on your paint. Get the MixMiser at Walmart(in the two cycle section in the automobile department).
I put an old towel on my fender, then plastic trash bag and then cover that with a second towel. I also stuff some old rags around the clutch reservoir.

The Mix-mizer at Walmart works well. What I like is that the piston part has a ring so you can use one hand for the operation with your other hand free to have a towel to prevent spills. It's very inexpensive, less than $8.

I use this fuel bottle for an R/C car.
It works perfectly and the slight curve of the tip helps keep it from dripping.
Nasty old clutch fluid on the left
