Hydraulic Clutch Fluid
Clutch Fluid Change
Always change fluid if the fluid becomes contaminated, if the fluid condition is
questionable, or if the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir are unknown.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place the transmission in gear.
3. Open the hood.
4. Wipe the fluid container and the area around the reservoir cover with a clean cloth.
WARNING! Using the wrong fluid or allowing air or contaminants into the fluid system can damage the
system seals or result in a malfunction that could lead to serious injury or death. Do not operate the
clutch while the reservoir cover is removed. Fluid could overflow from the reservoir and cause air to
enter the fluid system.
5. Using a syringe or vacuum-type tool, remove the old fluid from the fluid reservoir.
6. Refill the reservoir to the MAX line with the recommended fluid. Do not overfill.
7. Reinstall the reservoir cap.
8. Depress the clutch pedal forcefully for a few seconds. Check for fluid leakage around the
clutch reservoir fittings.
