Be careful of the type of fluid you use. I picked up some standard brake fluid from the auto store, put it in my clutch reservoir and within minutes, my clutch pedal felt like bubblegum. Fluid leaked out through master into pedal box overnight. I think this new brake fluid dissolved the previously fine master seals!
Unfortunately, it was a few months ago and I dont remember the name...
Which type is a good compatable clutch fluid?
Do you guys use different brake and clutch fluids? (at one time, Alfa had these running off the same reservoir.)
Presently, I have separate reservoirs..

The same thing happened to me with brake fluid, it went through and destroyed all the rubber within the brake system and I had to overhaul the entire thing.
Something must have contaminated it, and sometimes if there is some other fluid left over somewhere it can "disagree" and have a reaction with the new fluid (or so I'm told).
