After having the tranny dropped to replace the clutch, I drove the car for a bit and then flushed the fluid and also flushed the brakes at the same time.
About two months later, the brake fluid is still nice and clean, but the clutch fluid is dark and murky. What's that all about?!
Car has 110k on it. I am thinking maybe the rubber seals are deteriorating and could go at any time and am trying to get in front of this. I am into preventive maintenance !! Don't really feel bad about replacing these parts after 10 years and 100k mi. either.
Also, the clutch pedal does feel a little strange every now and again. Pedal effort is pretty stable, but sometimes it's not a smooth as others. That also tends to lead me to believe that we ought to just change the master and slave.
Thoughts?
Anything else we would replace at this time?
TIA!
