I just finished bleeding my clutch tonight, the car only has 14,000 Km's on it, is 1 year old, the clutch fluid was already starting to go a light shade of green and had light deposits on the bottom of the reservoir.

No issues getting it to bleed, just needed to depress the pedal, crack the bleeder and close it before the flow stopped, then slowly pull the pedal up by hand, repeated until the nice new amber fluid came out (5 or 6 reservoir fills).

The first time I cracked the bleeder some air did come out, leading me to believe that the clutch was not bled properly from the factory. The engagement is smoother and more linear now. Recommend doing this even if you’re not doing any other clutch work, lines etc.
