Took my 427 to the dealer today to flush the clutch fluid! Got home and it looks as dirty as ever! They said the only way to make it clear is to keep doing the "Ranger" method a dozen times!! Is this the only way to clear the fluid???

Appreciate the advice

Thanks all for the clutch fluid change info. I didn't realize this fluid needs to changed more often but will do this ever year from now on. Easy to change and doesn't take much time. Again appreciate the tip!

Every year?

This is something people do weekly/monthly. You just use a turkey baster to suck fluid out of the reservoir and fill it back up with fresh fluid. Takes 2 minutes

Without changing it regularly it doesn't really accomplish anything

OK will do. Thanks!

if you installed a remote bleeder, you can use a vacuum bleeder and keep it crystal clear like mine. I replace mine every time I track or once a month. takes about 3 minutes with this set-up.

1. use vacuum to empty reservoir, then wipe interior with with clean cloth.
2. fill reservoir passed full, apply vacuum to remote bleeder and crack open the bleeder screw.
3. Keeping an eye on the level, never let it empty the reservoir, as it could suck air into the system. I nearly empty it 2x
4. Tighten bleeder, check level and you're done.

Nothing wrong with Castrol dot4. I remember looking at a list, Castrol was one of the top ones. Dry and wet boiling points were great ; )
