Hydraulic Clutch; How To Check And Add Fluid; When To Check And What To Use - Chevrolet 2002 Silverado 1500 Pickup Owner's Manual

Hydraulic Clutch

The hydraulic clutch linkage in your vehicle is
-
self adjusting. The clutch master cylinder reservoir is
filled with hydraulic clutch fluid.
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.

When to Check and What to Use

The clutch master cylinder
reservoir is located in the
rear of the engine
compartment on the
driver's side of the vehicle.
See "Engine Compartment
Overview" in the Index
for more information
on location.
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.

How to Check and Add Fluid

The proper fluid should be added if the level does not
reach the bottom of the diaphragm when it's in place in
the reservoir. See the instructions on the reservoir cap.
