Old Brake Fluid Switched Out - Feels AWESOME

I've used Ate super blue racing in 6 different MT cars. 2 BMWs, 2 Vipers, 1 ZR1 Vette, 1 Cobra Mustang. All had/have over 100k miles and none had/have any clutch seal issues. And yes, I did use the special tool to flush the slave cylinders, they were not operating on old OE fluid (some people forget to flush the clutch slave cyl during brake fluid changes).

And I wouldn't suspect they would have issues, as I remarked, VW/Audi master cylinders seemed to have issue with the blue dye, that is why I never used it when I drove VW's. I would be interested to give it a whirl on my next brake/clutch flush on my E53 however, glad to see you've been using it for years with no issues.
