Yes... the brake and the clutch master share the same fluid reservoir. because of this, you need to flush/bleed the clutch at the same time, or the old, dirty, moisture ridden fluid in the clutch line, master and slave will contaminate your new brake fluid.

As mentioned, plan on forcing 1-2 qts through the system, or you will have air trapped in it, and have to do it over. Be sure car is level and bleed the calipers in the proper order and sequence (inside/outside)

Also, as mentioned, switch between ATE super blue and gold - they are the same fluid, different colors.

Cheers!

Mr. Bastard,
I have to bleed the clutch as well? Ok, there is a valve on the top of the tranny, I am guessing that it is the one. It does not look easy to get to....is there any easy way do do this?

thanks

Take the wheel off, use a relatively long tube attached to the nipple to get to a catch can on the ground and a very short wrench due to the limited space.
