Clutch Fluid Swap - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey all, I took a peek around the forums here and most people are swapping the fluid from the resivour, pumping the clutch, and so on and so forth. I've done this and now the fluid is coming out green? Any thoughts?

I've used 32 oz so far swapping and pumping the clutch.

your post is confusing..regardless I'll attempt to answer this...search on youtube, I have a video showing the best way of bleeding the clutch. Install a remote reservoir, then use a mityvac to suck the air out the top through the reservoir. Pumping the clutch makes it near impossible to actually bleed and get the job done right. I tried this unsuccessfully for about an hour before doing it that way...5 minutes later my clutch was perfect.

Unsure what you mean about green fluid, but once you get all the old fluid out, it shouldn't change color anymore. If your fluid is changing color on you then it's mixing the with the old fluid still.
