Default Motul 600 brake fluid used for clutch fluid?

Im flushing my clutch fluid soon and was wondering if I can use the motul 600 brake fluid for my clutch fluid.. Has anyone tried this with good results? Or should I just replace it with stock fluid. Ive always used stock fluid so no big deal, I just thought that maybe it would keep the clutch living longer with the Motul.. C5 corvette

thanks

Ever since having issues with my stock clutch that lead to making a mess of a few synchros I have used Motul in my clutch with a remote bleeder. Never a single issue on the street or track.

Don't know the answer to this question... how much moisture can Motul 600 capture before it puddles out at the low point in the system (slave cyl)
My suspicion is that a regular DOT3 or 4 brake fluid might be better in that regard. You can certainly use the Motul in your clutch, but you darned sure don't need that high temp capability!
Moot point if you flush the clutch hydraulics every year.
