brake fluid and gearbox fluid

[adam ant]

right then guys i have ap set up on the front and standard calipers on the rear so when coming to bleed with new fluid what do i use and do i have to do all 4 calipers as i have only took rear calipers off?also what gearbox fluid do i use as i have got standard box and car is running on stage 1 at about 270-275 the box is out at the moment but hoping to get all back together this weekend fingers crossed,also how much brake fluid and gearbox fluid will i need aswell and what make for each and grade

any good quality dot 4 braking fluid will be more than upto the job. You would get away with bleeding just the rears but if the fluid hasnt been replaced recently then it would make sense to bleed the fronts and flush all the old stuff out so youve also changed the fluid so its good for a while.

Buy a one man bleed kit, awesome and easy to use Castrol SRF (Available through Ickle Rimburn) is possibly the best stuff if you do track days as well. As Warren said Dot 4 will be fine otherwise
