Squeaky Clutch After water crossing

Hi,
A while ago I had to make a small river crossing, though not easy enough not to have to change gears while underwater. Right after getting out of the awater, working the clutch pedal makes this old-rusty-door squeaking sound. After a quick inspection of the clutch fluid container(the little black one near the master cylinder right?) looks like it became emulsified (is that the word for taken a whole lotta water and looks nasty?). Is there a way to purge that brake fluid from there and replace it? Are there other probable causes for the noise as well? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!!

LUis.

Gotta bleed it. I think you're in luck in that the slave cylinder is accessible on the late model tranny at least...

Pardon my ignorance, I have no idea of how to purge it :twak: if u can enlighten that way id be most grateful!

Thx!

You can't bleed the newer systems: They are a sealed self bleeding setup.
