Just happened to be under the hood this morning checking things and happened to check my clutch fluid. Holy crap! There is only 1900 kms. on the car and it is black as the ace of spades. Looked up maintenance for the clutch in manual and it says replace every 2 years. I can just imagine what it will look like in 2 years if it this black after just a few kms. It is a big job to change it properly on the ZR1 and perhaps all C6's are the same. So my questions are as follows:
1. Should I worry about changing it at this time given the small # of kms. on the car?
2. Rather than do a complete change out of the fluid, just wondered about getting a small hand pump from somewhere and just pumping from the cylinder? Also would need to keep pushing in the clutch to get as much as possible out of the system I suspect?
3.Having never changed clutch fluid before, when I finally add new fluid, do I need to pump the clutch after adding and if so, how do you know when enough is enough.
Sorry if this seems pretty basic to all you mechanical guys but having never had to drain a clutch system before, I don't want to make any mistakes with a new car. Thx. for any advice or tips from the experts.
