Clutch Fluid
Hello all! I just acquired my first rotary! 83 GSL. The previous owner is swearing up and down the car just had a clutch put in it and it was driving fine just before I picked it up. The car was free and the owner is a friend, so I doubt he was lying. The clutch was slipping, however, as I drove away. It got worse quickly. I parked it and I am having it towed in the AM. My question is this: In the owner's manual they refer to "clutch fluid" and have pics of a small resevoir to fill/check fluids. What fluid do I use? ATF doesn't seem like a smart choice, so I won't go that route unless someone says,"hey dummy....put ATF in it!". I'm wondering if there was a leak somewhere that bled out the fluid and caused the slippage? I did a search on clutch fluid, and came up with just 1 useful post. The post was in the 3rd gen section however and I know my car is 1st gen. Any and all feedback is welcome as I am a TOTAL noob to rotary motors!! Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

fresh install of a clutch master or slave?
it can have air in it,that wasn't bled out.If you bleed the clutch hydraulics,and If they are not leaking you can be ok.
