this questions been bothering me since my 1st time clutch pump broke down

- is it normal the clutch fluid turn black?? i have bad habit whereby i will step half of the clutch to move my car especially in traffic jam, is this cause my clutch pump spoiled, last time traffic jam when i maintain this habit,half clutch move 1-2 sec, free gear stop, repeated few times, pump spoiled,now using evo gearbox with evo clutch pump,scare the problem will happen again,anyone help??

- because my engine bay is really hot now, i have installed the engine oil cooler that come originally but din install the power steering oil cooler, is this a problem?? cause i can feel the heat of the power steering oil when i feel the the power steering oil reservoir "untouchable" after driving....

turn black? no sir, it doesnt, maybe darker as it ages with time, but not black.. u sure its black? the fluid for the clutch pump shud be of those dot4, the dot4 is more stable towards high temperature and pressure den the dot3. dot4 is clear, not as the dot3 red. half clutching isnt a good habit sir, but i dont think dis wud damage the clutch pump, it will wear more on the clutch plate ler tapi.

i dont see any problem if u dont install the power steering cooler
