Also I did my Front brakes and Clutch flush earlier.

My clutch reservoir was real dirty and the bottom if the reservoir looked like it had algae growing in it lol. I had to give it a scrub with a clean nylon brush and fill/remove a few times to get the crap out.

Flush was easy after that. Took me a few min to realize the Shift linkage and rod had 2 dots that correspond to each other. I marked a line with a soap stone before I took it off and then accidently washing it off when I was wiping off all the dirt and oil while the cover was off.

Felt good to be able to get something done. [Image: 162c6d98041595753a6467267cc402ef.jpg][Image: 784c6be8bf288c758a3723dee3952268.jpg][Image: ea92c5c69da53e780475777f1e2f8b99.jpg][Image: bb35d65cc7e22f755d90248bd8775fc7.jpg]

Hmmm. That was quite the sewer mvk24. Yea I'm not sure how lol. I'm very meticulous with my vehicles. I didnt have a leak that I know of but might be worth ordering a new gasket for the master cylinder. It really did look like there was a thin layer of moss or something on the bottom.

No problem,

For anyone else looking for a photo of where the clutch fluid bleeder is i'll circle it.

Once you take off your Gear shift linkage (1 10mm bolt), you then remove the cover behind it thats being held on with 3 Allen key bolts. [Image: 7d1b3a61ea3cc5ac84687e72300f63ec.jpg]
