Got mine on today, took like 20 minutes- super easy for the most part. I just called em up and they sent it on its way:

23k miles and this is what my brake/clutch fluid looked like:

Given that we know that the fluid looks that way because of the clutch, and that the separate reservoir is much smaller, did you add a bleeder to the new clutch reservoir? My guess is that the fluid will look like that again and you will need a way to bleed it out.

The bleeder will be put in when I drop the tranny for a clutch. Just flush it through the stock bleed screw until then. Going to flush the brake fluid soon and get all that out of the system.

Wow, thats some dirty fluid. I have been reading up on this and after seeing your fluid I'm am definately gonna do this soon. Can you feel a differance in the clutch?

Bo White · 11-10-2013, 01:09 PM

Its always smoother engagement with fresh fluid. I could tell with my last car the G8 GXP.

Looks good Bo! I had my trans out to replace my clutch last week and installed the speed bleeder line. So much nicer to work with! Can't imagine doing without it now.

Thanks, yes, looking forward to a clutch and bleeder upgrade.
One little trick I will share. When you start putting fluid back in for the clutch squeze the hose a few times until all the air comes out. This way the master didn't know anything happened. For me I filled the rezzy up and started squeezing the hose and the rezzy was almost empty by the time the bubbles stopped.

Another thing the clamp that came with the kit for the master block off wasn't big enough to use for me. I will replace the one I used. That's just something I had on hand.

Where did you get the mounting bracket? I was going to install mine this weekend (bought a few months ago) but thought I had to drill holes to install. From your pic it looks like yours is mounted with a bracket.. Can you clarify foe me?
Thanks!

Mine came with the bracket already on the rezzy. Unscrew the front master rezzy screw and put it on.
