Clutch bleed apprehension

NissanParty

I did this today after I changed my brake fluid. I did the gravity bleed, it was very easy and I had no problems.

I was surprised to see sludge in the bottom of the reservoir after I sucked the fluid out. So I added more fluid in and stirred it up and sucked it out a few times, then I wiped the inside of the reservoir out with a rag. I was also surprised when I started the bleed that the clutch fluid that was in there looked almost the color and opacity of peanut butter. It was not clear fluid, it was like peanut butter, maybe a little lighter.

I put a whole bottle of Motul 600 through it. Everything was fine with brakes and clutch on the test drive.

Thanks for all the help everyone, I am going to replace the clutch fluid more often. The car has 24,000 miles on it and I am guessing this is the first time the clutch or brake fluid has been changed. The brake fluid wasn't too bad, but there were some bits of rust and sediment in the fronts. Glad it is all fresh now.
