Yes, really a lot like it, since it is the same fluid supply. Most people
drain and bleed their brakes but there is stale brake fluid still in the
clutch cylinders. Mine was a gross brownish goop -- could have been
original for all I know. Never occured to me to bleed those while I was
doing brake fluid.

So, I'd recommend changing the fluid and bleeding all four corners plus the
clutch cylinders in the same operation.
