Clutch change?

#1 Post by Aladinsaneuk » Mon Nov 05, 2007 9:39 pm

forgive my ailing memory all BUT

I seem to remember that there was a relatively easy mod to fit that stopped the clutch fluid going black

any one remember what it was or have a link to it?

I seem to recall it was a part from MPL??

It will reach that...Methinks some one in the company is playing the bidding war game

The cylinder by itself wont stop the fluid changing colour. A braided hose will help but you actually need some fluid drained from NASAs shuttle on a wednesday at 4pm by a bloke called 'Harold'

Any devation from this and your garauntee of clear fluid goes right out the window.



PS, You can also ask GregD as with all the problems he's having to fix with his clutch, if he's not an expert by the end I'll eat my hat.
