    Build thread coming soon!
    Clutch fluid is just DOT 3 brake fluid. DOT 4 is fine, it just has a higher boiling point than DOT 3.

    That's the method I use: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5O_pbC8R2E

    There really is nothing different between changing clutch fluid or changing brake fluid. The process is the same.

    The bleeder for the clutch is on the driver side of the tranny.

    And make sure to check the fluid level in the reservoir really often so it doesn't become empty. If it does, you might get air in the ABS system and that won't be fun to bleed afterwards.
