Where do you put clutch fluid in an 89 YJ?

Hey there. I just bought an old 89 YJ that's in fairly good shape but it doesn't seem to like shifting into first and reverse at times. A friend told me to throw some Dot3 fluid in it but where I thought it went seems to be the wrong spot. As you can tell, I haven't been around cars much but hope to be an expert like you guys soon.

Isn't Dot3 a brake fluid?:???:

Holy old post, Batman. 2003.

And yes, DOT3 is a brake fluid and also used for the clutch. Both are hydraulic systems.

Lmao. 10yr+ anniversary. Maybe the dude just wanted to know what DOT3 fluid was and didn't want to start a new thread. Lol

Sorry yall. I know what DOT3 brake fluid is, I was just trying to be nice. My 1963 International Scout had a clutch slave cylinder too. I didn't know you could use brake fluid in it and I never noticed the original post date. :hide:

It's all good. Bounty_Hunter gave me a good laugh with the batman reference. I needed that.

It took me awhile to figure out what he was talking about. This is what happens when you get old like me. I'm your future.

Took me a while to figure it out also, brain is getting a little dim,eye sight is getting a little blurry, but on the positive side. The ugly girls are starting to look pretty good, as long as I dont put my glasses on.
