...change your brake/clutch fluid.
I just recently got my 2000 Shawk & changed the brake and clutch fluid...it looked like the color of Coke.
process was easy with the help of a Mityvac.
took it around the block a few times and noticed a HUGE difference

Good call. I had some new lines made up today. Gotta take one back, it's about an inch too long. So I should be able to put new fluid in tomorrow. Also put some engine ice in on Sunday. Overflow tank was pretty nasty.

Something like the Mityvac would be a big help if you're replacing the lines, but if you're just bleeding out old fluid as you pour in new, doing it the old fashion way is still a one man job and only takes a few minutes.
Also, if the 1-2 shift is notchy and you haven't changed clutch fluid in a few thousand miles, doing so can make a big difference.

Or Speedbleeders. They're a cinch to install and the one man job gets even easier!
