The car had about 4500 miles on it. Kept pumping the goop out until it ran clean then refilled with DOT 4. Works great now.

My clutch fluid was DOT 3 but my brake fluid was DOT 5. I’ve never attempted to convert my brake fluid from DOT 5 to DOT 3/4 because of the aforementioned issues. I wish it was easier but I don’t want to rebuild my entire brake system. It works fine now. This is on 226.
