Is our clutch hydraulic? Do we need to flush it periodically?

yes. but dont know how often you would need to flush... guess you can check the color of the fluid? i dont think its listed as a schedule maintenance even though brake fluids are. its probably one of those items that are not checked unless there is a problem. or perhaps you can do it every 50k...

driver side cowl area. its hidden underneath the micro filter, so you need to remove some plastic trim to get access.
