Automatic Transmission Fluid
It is not necessary to check the transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the only reason for fluid
loss. If a leak occurs, take your vehicle to the
dealership service department and have it repaired as
soon as possible.
Change the fluid and filter at the intervals listed in the
Maintenance Schedule. See Part A: Scheduled
Maintenance Services on page 6-4. Be sure to use the
transmission fluid listed in Part D: Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-21.
Notice: Use of the incorrect automatic transmission
fluid may damage your vehicle, and the damages
may not be covered by your warranty. Always
use the automatic transmission fluid listed in
Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on
page 6-21.
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 the
dealership service department and have it repaired as
soon as possible. You may also have your fluid
level checked by your dealer when you have your oil
changed. See Part D: Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 6-21 for the proper fluid to use.
Hydraulic Clutch
The hydraulic clutch linkage in your vehicle is
self-adjusting. This system does not have its own
reservoir. It receives fluid from the brake master
cylinder reservoir.
See Brakes on page 5-31 for more information.

DEX-COOL
®

to remain in your vehicle for five years or 150,000 miles
(240 000 km), whichever occurs first, if you add only
