Manual Transaxle Fluid; Hydraulic Clutch - Chevrolet 2000 Cavalier Owner's Manual

NOTICE:
We recommend you use only fluid labeled
R
-
DEXRON III, because fluid with that label is
made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON
is not covered by your new vehicle warranty.

Manual Transaxle Fluid

It is not necessary to check the transaxle fluid level.
A transaxle 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 or service center when you have your
oil changed.

Hydraulic Clutch

The hydraulic clutch linkage in your vehicle is
-
self adjusting. The clutch master cylinder reservoir is
filled with hydraulic clutch fluid.
6-22
It is not necessary to regularly check clutch fluid unless
you suspect there is a leak in the system. Adding fluid
won't correct a leak.
A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem.
Have the system inspected and repaired.

How to Check and Add Fluid
You do not need to check the fluid level unless you
suspect a clutch problem. To check the fluid level, take
the cap off. If the fluid reaches the step inside the
reservoir, the fluid level is correct.
Refer to the Maintenance
Schedule to determine how
often you should check the
fluid level in your clutch
master cylinder reservoir
and for the proper fluid.
See "Owner Checks
and Services" and
"Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants" in
the Index.
