I have a couple questions about bleeding my brakes. I replaced all the flexible lines for my brakes with braided stainless steel lines. I put in new rotors all the way around and new pads. I also installed speed bleeders, and have a manual transmission, which I understand uses the same fluid reserve as the brakes. I've already cleared the lines from the master cylinder all the way to the calipers, so I'm effectively replacing all the brake fluid.
So my questions are:

So my questions are:
- Is there any special order I need to follow when bleeding the brakes? I know on my old Vette you had to start with the wheel furthest from the master cylinder (right rear) and work your way to to closest (left front).
- Will I need to bleed the clutch, and should I do that before or after bleeding the wheels?
- I plan on using a synthetic DOT 3 brake fluid. Is there any benefit to DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 fluid?
