I have 19k miles on my car. I flushed the clutch fluid at 12k miles because it was green/ty looking. Suprisingly enough, it is, and has been green for a while even though there is only 7k miles on the fluid. I remember seeing something about a faulty O ring in the clutch MC, does anyone else have this problem on the 00 Si?

 

I have had a problem with my 00si and my 01 ITR. The fluid turns black on mine though and it starts hanging up when shifting from 1st 2nd and reverse. I usually use a serringe and suck out the fluid in the resivor and replace it. I have bled the system once and it lasted a little longer. I got some super blue and put in the resivor but I have yet to bleed the system with it. I am getting ready to put a new clutch in so I will bleed it then and let you know if it gets better. I have heard that the fluid changes color from moisture in the system. I have also heard it is from the seals but I have no leaks. It pisses me off. I think that it just heats up from the routing of the lines. Well good luck.

 

dont worry about it, remember, at 19k, you are still under factory warranty.

 

I have also heard soemthing about the seals deteroating, however, I have no leaks. It seems that the fluid should not be turned green after only a few thousand miles. I do road race the car, this could cause enough heat to turn the fluid, maybe im just freaking out and need to shut up and change the fluid. I have also tried puting Ate in there and it felt like crap.
