Using DOT 5.1 on a manual transmission.

[Mandalorian]

Getting ready to replace and bleed brakes. I have already heat shielded the hydraulic lines which seemed to help with shifting. I was looking at replacing the DOT3 with DOT 5.1. Everything I've read says it wont have an adverse affects on the brakes. I assume that means it will not have an adverse affect on the hydraulic workings of the clutch. I have the CF clutch which is working great other than it being tough to get into second after long days of driving.

I noticed the rougher shift into second, it happened once but hasn't happened again. I've got all the upgrades too.

I did add this "Snake Oil" which it was a total experiment and went into it not expecting anything from it:

I've been having the popping out of 2nd issue and surprisingly it did make a difference - for now.
