Any of you M6 guys regularly change the clutch fluid?

Not sure when mine was changed last, so probably going todo this over the weekend. Seems like dirty fluid can cause issues, but is easy to change.

You never get 100% of the fluid changed that way but it works good enough. You will have to do it often if you romp on it.

If you ever pull the torque tube get a bleeder. They are cheap but bolt onto the slave, so a lot of work to install. It will get 100% of the fluid changed though.

I got the mighty vac. It works wounders. Hit me up if you wanna borrow it. I makes it super easy

speed bleeder ftw. makes it so easy. heres what mine looked like last time i flushed it. I had kind of ignored it for awhile. Now i make sure to check it any time im under the hood.

I change it out twice a year now at least.
I had to do it much more when I was at the strip every other weekend.
I just note the color mostly & change it when it starts to get dark.

Speed bleeder lines are nice.
Ranger's method works but a full bleed is better.
Mity-vac works , I like power bleeders even more.

I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GET SOME DECENT TRANS FLUID... WHAT DO YOU GM GUYS USE? IT SAYS DEX3 BUT ALL I HAVE IS DEX6 AND I HEARD THE TRANS DOESNT LIKE THE DEX 6

i run dex6 in my t-56 and have had no issues for the year i have had it in.

 

[Wrencher]

If it's a mid 01 & up or it's been rebuilt the trans will have carbon lined blocker rings.
They are more tolerant of differing fluids.
On the extreme use end most like to use a redline D4.
Dex 6 is a little lighter viscosity. It will work but the ATF 3's, dex 3 etc will work better.

I changed the clutch fluid back int he fall. It wasn't that bad. I used the method on that website.

I have used dex6 in the GTP with no issues.

 

[6literEat'r]

dex6 is just an upgraded version of dex3, if whatever it is, calls for dex3, dex6 will be fine to use.

ive seen manymany 4t65 transmissions have fluid swapped over to dex6 with no problems, and auto transmissions are a lil less tolerant to fluid change.

Yea the trans guy at work said its not good to put dex 6 in a t56. I'm too cheap to buy redline fluid
