Manual Transaxle Fluid; Hydraulic Clutch - Chevrolet 2005 Aveo Owner's Manual

How to Add Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
what kind of transaxle fluid to use. See Part D:
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-24.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level into the area between the
two dimples in the hot range on the dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the
dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.
It does not take much fluid, generally less than one
pint (0.5 L). Do not overfill.
Notice: Use of automatic transaxle fluid labeled
other than T-IV Automatic Transaxle Fluid may
damage your vehicle, and the damages may not
be covered by your warranty. Always use T-IV
labeled automatic transaxle fluid in your vehicle.
See Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
on page 6-24 for more information.
3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under "How to Check," earlier in
this section.
4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back in all the way.

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. See Part D: Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 6-24 for the proper fluid to use.

Hydraulic Clutch

There is one reservoir for both the brake and the
hydraulic clutch fluid. See Brakes on page 5-33 for more
information.
The hydraulic clutch linkage in your vehicle is
self-adjusting. The master cylinder reservoir is filled with
hydraulic fluid.
A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem.
Have the system inspected and repaired.
When to Check and What to Use
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
how often you should check the fluid level in your
master cylinder reservoir and for the proper fluid.
