Hi Dwight,
I cycle my clutch fluid (remove and refresh from the reservoir) as soon as it turns color from clearish to amber. I haven't honestly noticed any difference but when I got my car the brake and clutch fluid was still clear, I bought a garage queen at 10K now at 16K.
I do see guys (other cars) with black clutch fluid, but they don't care. They don't have a concentric slave cylinder - (pull the entire tranny to replace a 100 dollar plastic part) clutch system!
I've also done the same method on my power steering fluid with no noticeable change. Also changed my differential oil, that was filthy no perceptible change after changing the oil there either.
