Bringing the thread back from the dead...
Any other alternatives to Motul? I am getting dissappointed with it- it is poo brown and yet again I had to take bleed screw out and poke the hole with sharp object to get fluid to come out. I completely flushed clutch less than 10k km ago. I had 5-6 track days since then.
I have SS clutch lines and all under car hard lines are wrapped in heat reflecting fabric.

I don't think your issue is with the fluid. Sounds like you have a lot of crap still in the lines. That could be an indication of a failing master or slave cylinder :twocents:

You could try Castrol SRF. But it's pricey.

:iagree:

The crap in the bleeder could be road dirt. You should also wrap the clutch line with insulation to keep the exhaust heat from it.

Clutch slave cylinder is finally gone, started leaking and pedal got really soft. I flushed it (again!) and managed to drive for another 4 weeks until replacement parts have arrived. Was adding bit of fluid every week, no issues with shifting.
Looking back-it took it almost 2 years of agony, clutch dust in the system manifested itself in 2019. Total mileage 60K km.
