Default Clutch Fluid?

Just a really quick question. How cool should the clutch fluid be before change? I'm about to change the fluid, and I was just driving the car about 45 minutes ago. Is it still too hot to change?

Yep! I don't think the temp matters, especially with Ranger's method. Search this forum for Ranger's clutch fluid replacement method. It's easy. Zuti

Ive changed mine >10 times in the past three weeks or so, fluid has been cold, hot and everything in between no problems here. Its finally coming out clear so I should be done changing it like that.

Temp doesn't matter with Clutch fluid.

Blinker fluid - now that's a different story.
