I know brake fluid is supposed to be changed every 2 years, but does this apply to the clutch fluid as well given its the same type of fluid? Thanks

... the .1 cars need to be separately bled to renew the fluid. The .2 cars bleed the clutch fluid automatically. On my .1s I do it with the annual brake fluid refresh, using this setup, since I use Motul RBF600 in mine,

Nifty tool. Where did you get it?

Its just one of those pass through ratchet sets designed for long bolts where the gears are on the outside of the sockets and the center is open. The silicone hose and bleeding bag are sold by www.speedbleeders.com. it let's you loosen and then retighten the bleed screw without having to remove the hose or tool. That ratchet set is Craftsman, but any set like that will work. 11mm is the socket needed for the bleed screw.

Petza, thanks for the information I take the clutch is using Dot 4 fluid? New 997TT haven't popped off the cover to look. Did the brakes last weekend

*reservoir* is different for the 997.1 Turbo (same for the 996 TT, as well as the GT2, if i'm not mistaken). The reservoir is located under the panel north of the brake fluid cover. It has a yellow cap and a warning label/ring that says "Use only Pentosin CHF11S" and "Use only mineral oil". I'll try to post a picture.

All,
I'm about to bleed my brakes and clutch. I was in the processing of ordering ATE Super Blue when I saw the DOT4 SL.6 and the DOT 4 TYP 200 Racing Quality. Now I'm stumped; which is more appropriate for my 997.1 S? I'm purely street, no track.
Thanks for your thoughts on these products.

No track use? Anything synthetic DOT 4. Go to Wal-Mart and take your pick. The track is the only place anything more expensive or exotic matters.
