Clutch Fluid Black - Even when replaced
Is anyone having problems with their bellows in the clutch master cylinder? My fluid was black, so I flushed the entire system. As soon as I dropped the bellows in, it turned black again. Can you replace just the bellows or do you have to get an entire new unit? :rolleyes:

Did you clean off the plastic boot before you dropped it back in the resevoir? I had to flush mine about 2-3 times, but now it's pretty clean.

I thought I did, I'll give it a try.
Someone else mentioned that it may need replacing, however, didn't know if it was available seperatly.

mn, GS, this is an ONGOING maintenance.......replace the fluid every couple of weeks, and it will get dark all over again...........but, you should eliminate the sticky pedal by following this regime........
Ranger started this PM, and I have done it since day 1.........I have (knock on wood) never had my clutch stick, or give a minutes problem.........
Use Valvoline Syntec Dot 3-4.........
PS: Never seen the bellows turn dark/ dirty......if it does, it's because it wasn't cleaned the first time...... :seeya
