I just put a fresh fluid change of motul300 in my brz.
Not long after, I realized that I have to change the clutch.

Do you really have to drain the entire transmission before changing the clutch?
It seems like a sealed system to me, and I don't know where the fluid would come out of where it wouldn't be a problem while the transmission is in.

It's not going to come out of the clutch area, maybe the driveshaft seals it?

IDK.

I guess, since I just did it, I can drain it into a clean container, get a quart extra just in case, and re-fill it if ABSOLUTELY necessary.

It just seems like ina ll of the clutch replacement guides I see, draining and filling the trans is just because it's a good time to do it, rather than something that is necessary because trans fludi will be spilling everywhere.

Anyone know this?

Thanks!
