Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I think this is correct, but can someone confirm it for me? Does the Boxster use the brake fluid for the Clutch also at the same time?

POST 2Original post

That is correct

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So if I were to bleed my brakes, and replace the fluid, how many quarts are needed? Do you know?

POST 4Original post

1 ltr to completely flush and refill. The clutch's bleeder valve (on top of the transmission) is tough to reach/see/get to. Good luck

POST 5Original post

Call me wasteful. Last flush I bought two liters and used it all.

POST 6Original post

Blinkwatt's photo will help you find the bleeder. http://986forum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=96781&postcount=14

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks! Now if somone would only answer my question I posted about the manual transmission fluid.

POST 8Original post

Where did you ask a question about manual transmission fluid? -nevermind I see it's a separate post.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
