    What brand is everyone using for clutch fluid? Just trying to get an idea what people prefer or if anyone had any negative issues with a particular brand.

    In my last 2 MTX cars I ran (and am still running) ATE TYP200 brake fluid with no issues. Really nice fluid. It's in my 3g as well, but I got ATX this time around.

    Any DOT 3 fluid is fine. I go through a lot of brake fluid and use whatever is on sale that meets the spec. I can count on one hand the amount of specific models that are picky as far as lubricity level of the fluid...but it's usually on the brake side...there was one nissan off the top of my head who's master cylinder would squeak unless you used the OEM fluid, but that's rare. All DOT fluid meet the specs. The only real difference between them is boiling point, but that no longer applies about a month or 2 after you pour it in the reservoir, since it begins to degrade almost immediately (although slowly). More important is to simply change it at some reasonable interval.
