Ranger Method
Can someone point me in the right direction. I am new to the site.
I can't find the link to the video of the Ranger Method for clutch fluid replacement. I saw it and forgot where.
This seems to be a much discussed topic.
How big a deal is this? My car has less than 7k miles on it. My local Corvette shop used a turkey baster. They suggested this was what "most" owners relied on. I have an idea on how it might work but I would like more info any other thoughts on an 08 clutch and fluid.
Thanks

I know you didn't ask but thought I would mention this to you. Here is a modified Ranger method that someone came up with in case you're interested:

When you come into the Z06 forum, look in the sticky section at the top of the page, Clutch Pedal Issues - How to Prevent and Cure.

When are people going to learn it is IMPOSSIBLE to bleed any hydraulic system from the top of a master cylinder. At best it just freshens up the oil in the master cylinder - but sludge is heavier than oil so where do you think it will be? Yep it remains down in the slave bogging up the slave and wearing crap out of everything including burning the clutch when bad enough.
Buy the correct spanner and a pressure bleeder and do the job properly or pay an expert to do the job correctly. It is IMPOSSIBLE to reinvent the laws of physics. And as I have said before doing it right the first time is quicker and cheaper than puffing and blowing on the master cylinder which is basically a waste of time. And if you think I am wrong thats OK - I am not wrong - go and ask any decent hydraulic expert and he will confirm after laughing his head off at the idea of bleeding the slave from the master cylinder filler.
If you do the correct bleed below using a pressure bleeder you can't go wrong... You are not playing with a $100 rustbucket - surely an expensive performance car deserves correct servicing.
