I wonder how, I want to flush the brake/clutch fluid so planning to take to ford as they have the easy hook up to flush and replace in one set up? How do you do it ALL at your garage, I also have a quick jack I use all the time? Thanks

I use a Motive Products pressure bleeder and two liters of brake fluid. It's a little slow because I don't pump up the pressure too high, maybe 13 psi. I've been thinking about adding a more positive retention clamping thing so I can boost the pressure a little bit higher.
I've been thinking about getting those check valve bleeder screws. I've also traded work with my grandson. He helps me bleed my brakes and I do a free oil change for him .
Also going to switch out the drain and fill plugs on the transmission next time its up in the air. Putting in hex head plugs to replace those crappy Allen head plugs.

The clutch is a closed system so no easy way to flush. With the shared reservoir, it will eventually exchange fluid with the clean stuff after a brake flush but at the mercy of putting the dirty fluid back into the reservoir. Many of us added a separate reservoir for the clutch, which eliminates the cross contamination. I believe Shelby still makes a nice kit.

Those transmission plugs are metric. Just a heads up, M16 x 1.5
