Check the fluid level only when your engine is
off,
the
vehicle is parked on a level place and the transmission is
cool enough for you
to
rest your fingers on the
transmission
case.
Then, follow these steps:
1.
Remove the filler plug.
2.
Check that the lubricant level is up to the bottom of
the filler plug hole.
3.
If the fluid level
is
good, install the plug and be sure
it is fully seated. If the fluid level is low, add more
fluid as described in the
next
steps.

Here’s how

add fluid. Refer to the Maintenance
Schedule to determine what kind
of
fluid
to
use.
See
“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.

Remove the filler plug.
2.

filler plug hole.

Hydraulic
Clutch
The hydraulic clutch linkage in your vehicle is
self-adjusting. The clutch master cylinder reservoir is
filled with hydraulic clutch fluid.
It isn’t a good idea
to
“top
off’
your clutch fluid. Adding
fluid won’t correct a leak.
A fluid loss in this system could indicate
a
problem.
Have
the
system inspected and repaired.
