3. Check that the lubricant level
is up to the bottom of the filler
plug hole.
4. 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.
How to Add Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to determine what kind of fluid to
use. See Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 6-12.
1. Remove the filler plug.
2. Add fluid at the filler plug hole.
Add only enough fluid to bring
the fluid level up to the bottom of
the filler plug hole.
3. Install the filler plug. Be sure the
plug is fully seated.
Hydraulic Clutch
The hydraulic clutch linkage in
the vehicle is self-adjusting.
The clutch master cylinder reservoir
is filled with hydraulic clutch fluid.
The hydraulic clutch fluid reservoir
cap has this symbol on it. See
Engine Compartment Overview on
page 5-10 for reservoir location.
It is not necessary to regularly check
clutch fluid unless a leak in the
system is suspected. 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
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to determine how often to check
the fluid level in the clutch master
cylinder reservoir and for the proper
fluid. See Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants on page 6-12.
How to Check and Add Fluid
The proper fluid should be added
if the level does not reach the
bottom of the diaphragm when it is
in place in the reservoir. See the
instructions on the reservoir cap.
