My car has Tilton pedals and master cylinders. There is currently one remote reservoir that feeds the 3 master cylinders. I am going to be installing Gary's new T1 brakes and I will be using Castrol SRF brake fluid, and I am wondering whether I need that quality of fluid for the clutch.

I am considering buying the Tilton 3 chamber remote reservoir to put in place of the single unit on the car now. If I do that I can use the SRF in the 2 brake chambers, and I could choose any fluid for the clutch. I will certainly stick with DOT 4 fluid for the clutch, but maybe the clutch fluid does not need to be quite as good/expensive as the SRF that will be used in the brakes? To date I have never had any heat issues with the clutch fluid but I appreciate the need to use quality fluids throughout.

Thoughts? Any and all inputs are appreciated!

What you are planning on doing is ok. I have triple m/c's on my race car, but have always used the same fluid simply because I had it and it was not expensive SRF. On many race cars you will notice one of the three reservoirs has a differnent color fluid and it is because of what you mentioned above.

Lots of people have lots of problems with the clutch hydraulics: http://www.google.com/#q=corvette+cl...ticks+to+floor

The clutch takes very little fluid. Put the good stuff in there.

I concur! Use SRF or RBF 600 in all hydraulic applications
