Chose a different shop for the flush/clutch line because trust was shattered.

If the parts aren't compatible, that makes sense. But why the dirty fluid and loss of fluid too? That's two separate problems sounds like I could've chose a wrong combo of parts and the shop didn't properly flush/get containments out of the system the first time?

I chose the parts. Now I have my 2nd order of parts for the 2nd installation and have decided to go with ZSpeed CSC Delete, Their clutch kit, and OEM CMC

I will be reinstalling all parts myself (Goodluck me). Parts are ready, I am not. Before I dive in, I'm wondering if I should just swap the CMC+Flush fluid and hope it works, or not bother and just do the entire reinstall again myself?
Sucks to hear about the first install not going well, I know it can be a tough pill to swallow to invest in parts/time at shop, only to be back where you started. The ZSpeed parts should get you situated nicely.
As far as the install, do your research and get all of the needed tools to tackle the job. I don't have the space to tackle it myself, but there are plenty of videos out there outlining what is needed and the steps to take in order to do this yourself.
Look up "The Carizon" on youtube and search on the channel for clutch install. Great breakdown of tools needed and what to look for when tackling this yourself. Best of luck and take your time.
