When I first installed the Z speed CSC in my car I had a ton of gray sludge in the fluid, perhaps the same thing you have there. I had a nightmare of a time bleeding it out, it took several times. Just when I thought I got it all out, the pedal would start losing pressure and I would have to pump up the clutch every time to get any release. I cant remember exactly but I want to say it took me like a month of bleeding my clutch 1-2 times a week before it finally stopped and now I have gone a few years without any problems.

When I had the problem, I had assumed it was a reaction between the Motul fluid and stock fluid or something. I dont know... but its been fine for a few years now. Occasionally I will see a floater in the my clutch fluid that I will pull out.
