Something's up with my stock clutch

They say the shelf life of the ATE is a year after opening. It's been 2 years that it's sitting in my garage with a good amount left. Should I use it or chuck it?

At least, that's my guess.

I second that motion haha. I'm quite familiar with his antics.

If the bottle was sealed, it's probably still good - I wouldn't be afraid to use it to top off the MC ... however ... in your present situation, I'd throw it away and use new stuff. Why take the risk?

Edit: Thought about this some more and will suggest that you toss any fluids (oil, brake, antifreeze, &c) that you have any doubts about. Even the most expensive are a lot cheaper than a new engine or xmission.
