replaced clutch fluid

Just changed the clutch fluid in my '02 MCS (55,000 miles). I used Redline MTF and WOW - this stuff makes a big difference. I've seen in a related post that this is the oem fluid but I'm not sure of this as the difference is very noticable. First, engagement is smoother and quieter. Second, that knocking sound that some/most Getrags make at idle is completely gone. Overall, an easy job that costs ~$20.00 and takes half an hour.

Do you mean the Transmission Fluid? Because the clutch is operated by the same reservoir that the brakes use. Wouldn't want to put MTL in that!

Yes - you are correct (poor choice of words on my part).
