Some of you know I don't get much mileage on my cars, my 06 WRX has about 72K miles - 95% secondary roads so, lots of starts/stops.

I have my original clutch, pretty sure the fluid has never been topped off (certainly not by me). So, I was wondering if the volume in the fluid tank getting close to LOW accurately reflects clutch material loss? Or, is is not 'synchronized' very well?  Worth getting ahead of the curve or wait until a high gear starts slipping? Is there another way to inspect the clutch material?

Funny thing about the clutch system is that as the pressure plate fingers release due to a worn disc, the fluid level would rise in the reservoir. Check the hose from the master to the slave for wetness. They sometimes leak.

???? weird

 

I have no drips but, I could see that being such a low volume of fluid it may just 'coat' a surface

 

thanx!
