Black gunge is usually from overheating of the clutch fluid, to bleed the clutch is a pain as the bleed is inside the bell housing and is fiddly to get to, it would be much less agro to take to monkfish etc to sort for you, also watch out for the clutch reservoir caps cracking had mine go.
In the archives somewhere there is a full explanation + pics on how to bleed clutch ,not sure if what LS1 forum etc.. someone else on here will answer shortly I'M SURE!!!

Draper do an Oil Suction Gun that looks like it'll do the trick. You can get them from Amazon.

Don`t waste your time.

The clutch fluid volume is so small the new fluid will overheat within a few miles.

All Monaros have this problem.
