By clutch fluid do you mean transmission fluid? If so.. there should be a plug on the left side(looking at the front of the car) right by where the axle attaches to the trasmission.. you will have to take the left wheel off to drain it.. so your gonna have to use a jack... You have to fill it up from down there as well.. we put togethere a long tube and a funnel so we could poor from above and let it go down.. that way someone can poor and someone can watch to see when its full... Its kinda a bare to get the plug back in when the fluid starts to leak out.. but you wanna get it in as quickly as possible... The brake fluid? I dunno how to drain it.. but i could look in the helms manuel if i wasnt so lazy :D.. There should be a break fluid container in the engine bay (the left side i beleive?)... Good luck dude!

So their isnt a clutch fulid???. I always thought there was. And is it necessary to change the brake fluid at 60k if you have never had it done?

there is brake fluid in your clutch master cylinder. there is a bleeder screw on the clutch slave cylinder.

there IS clutch fluid.. the reservoir is going to be by the driver side between the shock tower and firewall... the method for both is pretty similar.... get a siphon or turkey baster (make sure your wife/gf doesnt re-use it for thanksgiving dinner) and suck out/siphon out as much of the old fluid as you can...

I usually siphon out at least 3/4 of the old fluid.. then POUR in the new fluid.... then you can proceed to bleed the clutch msater cyl and same w/ the brakes.. bleed out the lines at each caliper to get out all the old fluid and air bubbles.. even if theres no air bubbles.. keep going until the fluid is clear.. make sure you don't let the cylinder/reservoirs run dry otherwise you'll suck in air and get a spongy pedal and have to do it all over again... I usually replace all the fluids in my car every year.. so w/ 60K I'd say you should do the brake fluid... you might also want to replace your tranny fluid and coolant if you haven't done so in the 60K... I'm assuming your up to date w/ your oil changes...

for the fuel filter... the fuel filter is along the firewall next to (to the right of) the battery.. behind the motor.. its a black filter... anyway relieve the fuel system of pressure by removing the gas cap and pulling the fuse for the fuel pump then cranking the motor over a few times... disconnect the battery (make sure you have your stereo code)... and unbolt the filter... there is a banjo/union bolt on top and the fuel line and retaining nut on bottom.. make sure you dont bend the fuel line.. don't smoke (duh.. fuel is flammable) and dont cause any sparks.... after you have undone the top and bottom bolts.. undo the clamp/housing and it should lift out.. your new filter should come w/ new metal crush washers... install is reverse... good luck... I haven't done this in about a year.. so if I missed out any steps or the info is partially incorrect.. please feel free to correct me.. but as far as I can remember thats the procedure for the things you want to do...
