Yep. Bleeding the clutch after track days is always a gruesome sight

I have a question then.. If I am running through a canyon, staying in 3rd gear almost the whole drive through.. Speeds anywhere from 45-80, not shifting much at all, not using the clutch much at all, am I still effecting slave/master cylinder? or fluids?

this is way to vague. what might not be much to one person could be alot to another.

if you are using the clutch and shifting then yes you are using those components and fluid.

i think im a little lost on what your asking though

They are talking about the fluids getting hot.. well, i asked if I am not actually using the clutch as much as I would on a real track, is it still getting hot...
I honestly dont know what i am talking about.. I am not too educated on cars. I know the basics.

But I dont like driving and all the sudden the sang Slave goes out. I have never had that happen..
