Most automotive clutch systems use brake fluid in the master cylinder. Hydraulic oil would ruin those systems.

Where do clutch fluid goes in a Ford Escort?

What does a clutch master cylinder do to your car?
That used to be true when Chevy, Ford and Mopar V8s ruled the road but with modern multi overhead cam, fuel injected turbo charged engines the gains from the clutch master cylinder can go as high as 50 hp. A clutch master cylinder boosts your cars hp about 15 and that's just about it. A clutch master cylinder boosts your cars hp about 15 and that's just about it.

Where is the bleeder valve for the clutch located on a 1994 Chevy S-10?
Open bleeder on the clutch slave cylinder and bleed the system. Follow the line from the clutch master cylinder reservoir to the slave cylinder. There you will find the bleeder valve on the slav cylinder. Follow this procedure to properly bleed the hydraulic clutch which is similar to bleeding brakes. 1) Top off the clutch master cylinder reservoir. 2) Put a clear plastic tube on the bleeder nipple and submerge the end of the tube in a jar with some clutch hydraulic fluid. 3) Slowly depress the clutch pedal. 4) SLIGHTLY loosen the bleeder nipple. 5) While fluid is traveling through the tube, tighten the bleeder BEFORE the pedal is fully depressed. 6) Release pedal. Repeat procedure until you are certain: A) No bubbles appear in the fluid stream. B) The bleeder was opened after the clutch pedal started depressing and was closed before the pedal reached the bottom. C) The master cylinder reservoir never uncovered the ports in the bottom. Make sure the slave cylinder is tightly fastened to the transmission case and does not move when the clutch pedal is depressed. Look for threaded adjustment rods in the slave cylinder and clutch pedal linkages that can be used to insure the clutch is fully released BEFORE the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
What is the procedure to bleed a clutch on a 1989 Chevy cavalier?
Hydraulic clutches have 3 components: Master cylinder (under hood), slave cylinder (under car near the clutch, and connecting hydraulic line. When you depress the clutch you are building pressure in the master cylinder which sends this pressure thru the connecting line to the slave cylinder which then works the actual clutch. To bleed the system you need two people, one proper size wrench (guess 10 mm), hydraulic fluid( brake fluid). One person sits in the car; one person under car with wrench. Start by filling the CLUTCH master cylinder with brake fluid( yes it is the same stuff used for the brakes). Next get under the safely lifted car with your wrench near the clutch slave cylinder. Have assistant pump the clutch to build pressure and after four pumps the person holds it to the floor. You with wrench loosen the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder. Out will come air and old fluid. Now tighten the bleeder valve and have assistant pump up the clutch pedal again and repeat this procedure while KEEPING THE FLUID FULL IN THE MASTER CYLINDER ALWAYS. You keep doing this until pure fluid comes out. Your assistant MUST HOLD THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WHILE THE BLEEDER IS OPEN or you will introduce air in system.The first item to fail in this system is the slave cylinder; make sure it holds pressure when you are done..1930fcoupe
Were is the master cylinder located on a 2001 Saturn sc2?
The master cylinder is mounted inside the engine compartment on the drivers side of the firewall. Look at the upper right hand side of the attached picture (in the related links section), at the two round black caps behind the battery. The bottle on the left is the reservoir for the brake fluid. Underneath that bottle is the master cylinder. Your car may not have the bottle on the right, because that one stores fluid used for a manual transmission's hydraulic clutch.
Can you replace abs with non-abs master cylinder like installing regular master cylinder and disabling abs on 92 Voyager and is the master cylinder used with the abs different from that used without?

Where do you fill the clutch fluid and can brake fluid be used to fill it?
Do you mean the clutch master cylinder or transmission fluid? They both will be under the hood, the clutch master cylinder will more than likely be on the drivers side near the dash and will say what type of fluid to put in (dot 3) and will say clutch master cylinder. Just open the plastic cap when the fluid is cool and fill to the fill line. I believe as long as the brake fluid says dot 3 or whatever type you need it's okay to use. As for transmission fluid, do NOT use brake fluid for that, buy regular transmission fluid
