Check the fluid level only when your engine is off, the
vehicle is parked on a level place and the transmission is
cool enough for you to rest your fingers on the
transmission case.
Then, follow these steps:
1. Remove the filler plug.
2. Check that
the lubricant level is up to the bottom of
the filler plug hole.
3. 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.

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 mrn 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.
