rattling noise during 1st gear

You could always do what the vette guys do and use a turkey-baster type device to suck the crap out the reservoir and pour new stuff in. As you drive, it'll cycle and dilute. Keep checking periodically and do the same thing until it's clean.

Just a suggestion if you don't want to pay for a flush or get under the vehicle.

It will Gravity bleed just about on it's own. Crack the bleeder and maintain the fluid level until u see fresh fluid coming out the bottom. Very simple!

If I crack the bleeder how long will it take till I start seeing clean fluid coming out? Also will that damage the clutch if fluid is low? Any pics on where the bleed screw for the clutch is?
