If it's low do I just replace it, is there a special type of fluid I need?

DOT 3 brake fluid is ok, just saying but they do sell special fluid for the clutch if you're interested. DOT4 is also ok. Yes just refill the reservoir if it's low. If it's full and you have that problem then yeah csc might be going out which is normal for our cars. I'd suggest buying the csc elimination kit from Z1 if you get it fixed. Believe me you'll want that elimination kit unless you want fireplace your csc every couple of months or years hahah.

The HD csc works very well too as another option to the elimination kit. And as hot as the car runs, DOT 3 fluid is going to boil too easily. DOT 4 is a better choice.
