Hydraulic Clutch
The hydraulic clutch linkage in your vehicle is
self-adjusting. The master cylinder reservoir is filled
with DOT-3 brake fluid.
It is not necessary to regularly check the fluid unless
you suspect there is a leak in the system. Adding fluid
won’t correct a leak.
The clutch and brake master cylinder use the same
reservoir.
A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem.
Have the system inspected and repaired.
