If you have a hydraulic clutch, and not a cable clutch, there may be 2 adjacent filler caps, one for the brakes and one for the clutch, like this. The clutch reservoir will be the smaller one

However, many cars have one reservoir for clutch and brakes together, with an internal division, like this

http://img.wonderhowto.com/img/99/28/63475824711860/0/top-up-your-cars-brake-fluid.w654.jpg.

The fluid is the same for both. ONLY use new brake fluid, labelled as such.

So you need to know if it is a cable clutch or not, and don't get confused with the power steering reservoir, which is a different fluid.

I need a diagram on where to fill the clutch fluid on my 1998 Isuzu Rodeo. It is a manual transmission. Also, do you put clutch and transmission fluid in different places?

Clutch and tranny fluid does not go in the same place whatever you do don't mix them as for where to fill the clutch fluid, believe it or not some of the clutch share a resovoir with the brakes but others have a smaller resovoir right next to the break master cylinder, but that's only if you have a hydraulic clutch some where actually cable so it wouldn't take hydraulic fluid at all.. I hope this helps

When I put the clutch down it squeals I am thinking it needs transmission fluid but can't find where to put it

I don't believe that you would need more transmission fluid if you have a squeel (but for future reference clutch fluid is located with the brake fluid and uses brake fluid DOT 3). Squeeling is usually a tall tell sign that your clutch or pressure plate is going out. Also for future reference the actual transmission fluid will be on the side of the transmission and should say oil, if not it is usually 3 to 5 inches from the lowest point on the transmission and may take a certain weight (80-90W, 75-90W, etc.

Leaking brake fluid now my clutch not working !!! help

Are you sure it was brake fluid leaking? If you were leaking transmission fluid then that could cause some of the mechanical workings to stall, in turn causing the clutch to freeze-up. The other (more likely) problem is that you were leaking hydraulic fluid for the hydraulic clutch.

It sounds like you will probably have a hydraulic clutch, and fluid was leaking. If you accidentally topped-up the hydraulic fluid for the clutch with brake fluid, that would be an interesting scenario... not sure how the mis-match would work out. If the hydraulic clutch fluid is simply low, you can flush it out, put new fluid in there and get it to a dealer to repair the clutch

What fluids do we put underneath the truck clutch fluid? Or is there something else we need to know? This is after replacing the whole clutch. When the new cluth was put in fluid came out is that clutch...

The fluid used in the hydraulic clutch line is brake fluid.
The fluid used in the transmission can be either 10w30 oil......80w90 oil or automatic trans oil ....it depends on what transmission you have and what year you have.

Some transmissions are filled through the shifter opening.
Do not overfill it.....it will leak out on your new clutch.
