You must keep the fluid in the clutch system fresh. The slave and master will not last long if you don't. It won't matter if the slave is from a Yugo or a Ferrari.

I have found I need to replace the fluid twice a year. Suck the old fluid out of the master and refill it with new fluid. When bleeding, you can get 3 pumps of the pedal before you need to fill the master back up. Don't try 4. I have to bleed almost a full 12 oz bottle of fluid through it before it starts to look clear.

I also have some insulated sleeving over the hard line from the master to the slave.
