Hey guys, my clutch in my s13 just started slipping yesterday and my clutch fluid is black, could this be the problem, and how would I bleed the system completely.

Dirty and old clutch fluid can cause your clutch to slip, but it also depends on how many miles you have on it. How many miles are on the clutch? While your bleeding the clutch do your brakes as well, it's a simple process. I'm sure you can find a diy on this forum if not I'll post up the steps.

take out slave cylinder and let all fluid pour out, then refill with new and flush it again - that way you "wash" your system. also you can remove that cooler or whatever it is on clutch line - just cut it out and replace with some braided hose.bad clutch fluid wont affect slipping that much, but you can try first to replace fluid first, maybe you will be lucky
