clutch res cleaning
I read the sticky and watched the video clip about changing out the clutch fluid. Does anyone know where to get the large hypodermic nedle like device to evacuate the old fluid cleanly? I hate the thought of using a turkey baster since it will probably leak hydraluic fluid all over the place.

Insert baster tip all the way down to the bottom, suck fluid in, and then when withdrawing it, immediately put your finger over the end as soon as it clears the top of the reservoir. Keep your finger over the end until you're over a close-by wide mouth jar/container and gently squeeze the fluid out. Repeat as necessary. I also keep a another separate container near with paper towels inside to put the baster in when not using. Empty mayonnaise jars are perfect. Just be careful where you set them so they're stable. Very easy actually.

Syringe shown in the video is the MixMizer, available widely including Walmart, where it can be found in automotive on a pegboard near the gas cans. It costs about $3.
