Clutch fluid Options

[6G96GT]

I was looking at my clutch fluid today and thought maybe it's time to change it. My buddy told me not to but instead take a turkey baster and suck as much clutch fluid out as possible with it and then simply pour in new fluid. He said I should do this every couple days for about 5 or 6 times. What do you guys think?

Just bleed out the old fluid from the bleeder valve located on the clutch slave cylinder. Make sure to use something like a 3/8 clear nylon tubing to drain the old fluid without getting it on your car's paint. Also, this is a good way to bleed the system of air by making sure there is no more air bubbles when the clutch pedal's depressed. Have somebody depress the pedal for you while replacing the dot 3 brake fluid in the clutch system. What you are looking for is clean fluid color with no air in the system.
