Hydraulic Clutch - Pontiac Vibe 2007 Owner's Manual

Check the fluid level only when your engine is off,
the vehicle is parked on a level place and the
transaxle is cool enough for you to rest your
fingers on the transaxle 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.
How to Add Fluid
Here is how to add fluid. Refer to the Maintenance
Schedule to determine what kind of fluid to use.
See Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
on page 394.
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 your vehicle is
self-adjusting. The master cylinder reservoir
is filled with DOT-3 brake fluid.
It is not necessary to regularly check the fluid
unless you suspect there is a leak in the system.
Adding fluid will not correct a leak.
The hydraulic clutch and brake master cylinder
use the same reservoir.
A fluid loss in this system could indicate a
problem. Have the system inspected and repaired.
