If the brake fluid you bled out did not look too bad, I'd let it go. But I'm in Colorado. If it looked bad, and I lived in Alabama, I'd do the clutch system.
No, as I said, it looked pretty clear, no bad at all... I am in Los Angeles, CA. As far as I can tell it's pretty dry here... So I guess the best bet for me is to let it go...

Amazing your '71 Travco though... how did the brake fluid look after 34 years, even in Colorado?
