Flush it. Replace w/ new fluid.

is this normal? fluid was still fresh last december 2007.

that's pretty much normal because of that rubber thingy dun sa dulo ng piston sa loob ng cylinder, as long as there's no leak, that's okay

yes tama si V6 flush it with new fluid, mas okay kung all wheels ka magflush ng fluid para mas malinis ang linya ng brake mo. No 1 cause ng maduming fluid ay ang mga naipon na dirt sa may wheel cylinder.

^ im, by far, not an expert pero.... di ba hiwalay ang fluid reservoir ng clutch master and brake master cylinder?

ontopic, wala naman kaso yan pangingitim ng fluid, cause nga lang yan nung rubber sa loob ng assembly. pag walang leak or di pa lumulusot yung clutch sa shifting, ok pa yan.

yes, the masters are separate, but some cars share reservoirs. sample is the toyota vios.

if you pop your hood, you'll see only one reservoir shared by brake master and clutch master cylinders.

one thing about how to distinguish a clutch master from the brake master is that the clutch master has only one piping and its connected to the transmission housing. brake however, has two pipes and its either connected to a proportioning valve (no ABS), or a hydraulic unit (w/ ABS). saka usually mas malaki ang brake master kesa clutch master.

here is the pic of my engine bay... this was taken several months ago kaya madumi pa. pero super linis na sya ngayon

brake master is on the left with two pipes. clutch master is on the right with a single pipe (though hindi kita dito. natakpan ng charcoal canister)

normal lang yan bro. ipa flush mo na lang sa suking gas station mo.
i just had my brake and clutch fluids flushed two weeks ago. cost me 150 pesos sa labor tsaka isang liter ng brake and clutch fluid na 200 pesos ata.

dati sumasabit yung shifting ko, pero ngayon smooth na smooth na...

*spyghost: mas madumi pa engine bay ko sa iyo.... hehehehe. yung brake dyan is yung malaki at the left of the canister. yung clutch is yung maliit.
