How much fluid do I need to flush brake/tranny fluid? ATE superblue
Since the transmission and brakes share the same resovoir. How much do I need to completely flush the system. I am going to be buying some ATE super blue. For people who want it cheap go here, cheapest I found 9.xx a liter:

1 liter will be more than enought to fully flush the entire system..i did mine just a few months ago..ate super blue is the ****..great pedal feel, made the care feel totaly different, but in a GOOD way..the great thing abt super blue its easy to see when u flush..and then u can go with the gold the next time u flush..
just make shure the place u order from dosent charge and arm and leg to ship..the place i ordered from wanted like7 bux a liter then wanted like 15 bux to ship it ups ground!

also sells ate blue and gold, and are a GREAT company..bought many things from them for the girls bmw
heres my tip for flushing the system
just make shure you suck all the fluid outa the master cilinder.then put lint free towels , or absorbant paper towels in to get every last bit of fluid(be **** with it, its better not to contaminate the fluid if u dont have to)...then open the bleeder on the slave cilinder fluid will begin to dribble out..(theres some in the back of the master cylnder that you cant really get to) after it begins to dribble out fill the master cilinder with super blue, then bleed clutch first, then start farthest wheel from caliper and work your way arround, speedbleeders are a great investment, unless you have a friend who wants to give u a had for 10 min
