Change the fluid and filter at the
intervals listed in Scheduled
Maintenance

, and
be sure to use the fluid listed in
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 10‑7.
Manual Transmission
Fluid
It is not necessary to check the
manual transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the only
reason for fluid loss. If a leak
occurs, take the vehicle to a dealer/
retailer for service. Have it repaired
as soon as possible. You may also
have the fluid level checked by your
dealer/retailer when the oil is
changed. See Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants
on page 10‑7
for
the proper fluid to use.
Hydraulic Clutch
It is not necessary to regularly
check clutch fluid unless you
suspect there is a leak in the
system. Adding fluid will not correct
a leak. A fluid loss in this system
could indicate a problem. Have the
system inspected and repaired.
When to Check and What
to Use
The hydraulic clutch fluid reservoir
cap has this symbol on it. See
Engine Compartment Overview
on
page 9‑6
for reservoir location.
Refer to the Maintenance
Schedule for the proper fluid to use.
See Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants
on page 10‑7
. The fluid
requires changing every two years.
See Scheduled Maintenance
on
page 10‑3

How to Check and Add Fluid
Visually check the clutch fluid
reservoir to make sure the fluid level
is at the MIN (minimum) line on the
side of the reservoir. The hydraulic
clutch fluid system should be closed
and sealed.
Do not remove the cap to check
the fluid level or to top-off the fluid
level. Remove the cap only when
necessary to add the proper fluid
until the level reaches the MIN line.
