I will be flushing both he brakes and clutch soon. I understand how to do the brakes. Just not sure on how to flush the clutch fluid. Can someone tell me the best way to do it? TIA

Just doing the brakes alone will take care of the entire system, but if you want, you can disconnect the clutch line at the left side of the tranny briefly to rid the line of any dark or worn fluid in it. This last step really isn’t necessary though. I usually use two 32 ounce bottles of brake fluid when I bleed my brakes/clutch to make sure I get a good flush and I don’t move to the next caliper until I see clear fluid.

This, and get yourself a mityvac or similar if you don’t have one.

You would use the motiv the same way as your brakes. Personally, I would just pump the clutch and get some fluid movement. Especially if you are not tracking the car.
