The clutch circuit has to be drained separately.
If the mechanic said he changed your brake fluid, I seriously doubt he
changed the brake fluid in the clutch system.

Thanks.  So, I changed the brake fluid in May.  I'm assuming from what you
say that the clutch hydraulic system needs separately changed.  Is that
correct?  Nothing in the owner's manual about that, unless I remember
incorrectly.  I'll check it.  But regardless of what it says, it sounds like
you are saying to change the clutch fluid in addition to the brake fluid.
Or did my mechanic do that as a part of changing the brake fluid?  Thanks
again, David Mc
