The datsun kid Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 hey i noticed that my slave cylinder fluid was black in the resevoir and i was wondering if this could effect the clutch? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 It's just the rubber parts deteriorating. Brake fluid will absorb water out of the air and all brake fluid should be replaced every 2-3 years. I would open the bleeder on the slave and let drain out. Replace with new and bleed it.

ggzilla Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 And it probably will not come up clean. It's difficult to get it all out. But no worries it won't hurt it to be a little black. Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 And it probably will not come up clean. It's difficult to get it all out. But no worries it won't hurt it to be a little black. What ggzilla and datzenmike said !!! .. Trick is to crack the bleeder and .... let master fluid level get prettydang low before topping off again ...(with bottle in hand and keeping close eye on level ) .. I usually let the level drop from full .... to near empty at least 3 times during bleeding process ... Not neccessary ... But it gets majority of black out ... And is my personal preference to do so ... Typically ... I bleed my clutch and brake system on my datsun.... every 1-2 years Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I opened my slave up and pumped the res empty. Flushed with new fluid until clear. Fluid is CHEAP. Don't skimp on the flushing and bleeding. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I change my toothbrush every few months and never throw them away. Perfect for scrubbing the black goo out of the reservoir too. Rinse and spit it out. Quote Link to comment
