In the past I was taking readings of the clutch fluid temperature at the remote GTO reservoir and the brake fluid temperature at it's reservoir and it doesn't take very long to see substantially higher temps at the clutch reservoir. You'd be astonished at the temperature inside the bell housing that ultimately gets transferred to the clutch hydraulic system. A good grade DOT 4 in the brakes and clutch hydraulic system are the way to go, I use ATE Super Blue but there are several other great brands available.
