15. Clutch System

A: INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
SA07690G26
1) Push the release lever to retract the push rod
of the operating cylinder and check if the fluid level
in the clutch reservoir tank rises or not.
2) If the fluid level rises, pedal free play is correct.
3) If the fluid level does not rise, or the push rod
cannot be retracted, adjust the clutch pedal. <Ref.
to CL-24 Clutch Pedal.>
4) Inspect the underside of master cylinder, clutch
damper and operating cylinder for clutch system,
hoses, piping and their couplings for fluid leaks.
If fluid leaks are found, correct them by retighten-
ing their fitting bolt and/or replacing their parts.
5) Check the fluid level using the scale on the
outside of the clutch master cylinder tank (A). If the
level is below "MIN" (B), add clutch fluid to bring it
up to "MAX" (C).
Recommended clutch fluid:
FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT3 or DOT4
brake fluid
NOTE:
¼ Avoid mixing different brakes of brake fluid to
prevent degradation of the fluid.
¼ Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to get into the
reservoir tank.
