10-24 Vehicle Care

Manual Transmission

Fluid

It is not necessary to check the
manual transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the
only reason for fluid loss. If a leak
occurs, take the vehicle to the
dealer service department and have
it repaired as soon as possible.
See Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11 12 for the
proper fluid to use.

Hydraulic Clutch

It is not necessary to regularly
check clutch fluid unless you
suspect there is a leak in the
system. Adding fluid will not 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 hydraulic clutch fluid reservoir
cap has this symbol on it. See
Engine Compartment Overview on
page 10 10 for reservoir location.
Refer to the Maintenance
Schedule for the proper fluid to use.
See Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11 12. The fluid
requires changing every two years.
See Maintenance Schedule on
page 11 3.
How to Check and Add Fluid
Visually check the clutch fluid
reservoir to make sure the fluid level
is at the MIN (minimum) line on the
side of the reservoir. The hydraulic
clutch fluid system should be closed
and sealed.
Do not remove the cap to check
the fluid level or to top off the fluid
level. Remove the cap only when
necessary to add the proper fluid
until the level reaches the MIN line.
