How to Add Fluid
Here's how to add fluid. Refer to the Maintenance
Schedule to determine what kind of fluid to use. See
"Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index.
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 system in your vehicle is
-
self adjusting. A slight amount of play (1/4 inch to
1/2 inch or 6 mm to 12 mm) in the pedal is normal.
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.
