Changing Clutch Fluid - Hyundai Performance Forums

I changed my clutch fluid a couple days ago. i put some lucas gear oil stabilizer in with some 80-90w gear oil. when i push the clutch in and let it go when i shift, the pedal is slow to bounce back...it feels like the fluid is too thick or something. any ideas and what i did wrong and what i need to do ( i bled it well) :rambo:

Clutch fluid is brake fluid, nothing else. Gear oil goes in the tranny! Also there's absolutely no reason to put Lucas in there. It's a hydraulic system, not a lubrication system. Pump all that crap out ASAP and put some regular ol' brake fluid in there.

yeah man get that out of there ASAP, you may have fudged your master cylinder or slave.

Yeah, I would flush that out soon.
Don't just dump it, flush it. That gear oil is thick and won't clean out easily. You may have to flush it a couple times.
