Hydraulic Clutch Fluid Level Check

HYDRAULIC CLUTCH FLUID LEVEL CHECK

NOTICE: Do not use mineral oil or a paraffin base oil in the hydraulic system. These fluids will damage the rubber parts in the cylinders. Only DOT 3 brake fluid should be used.

NOTICE: Carefully clean the cap and sides of the reservoir before removing to prevent contamination of the system with dirt, water or other foreign material. Carefully replace the cap after filling.

The clutch hydraulic system is a sealed unit and does not need required periodic checking.

NOTICE: The clutch hydraulic system is serviced as a complete unit. It has been filled with fluid and bled of air. Individual components of the system are not available separately, except for the slave cylinder actuator pushrod plastic retainer strap and reservoir cap.

If the system requires any fluid, check the hydraulic system components for leakage. Remove the slave cylinder from the clutch housing and check for leakage past the piston. A slight wetting of the surface is normal. Check the system at all possible leak points. Replace the system if excessive leakage is evident.
