Clutch: Service Precautions

PRECAUTION
When servicing clutch system, pay attention to the following items.





1) Check fluid level using a scale on outside of reservoir tank. If the level is below "MIN", add brake fluid to bring it up to "MAX".
Recommended brake fluid: FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT3 or DOT4 brake fluid

CAUTION:
- Avoid mixing different brakes of brake fluid to prevent degradation of the fluid.
- Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to get into the reservoir tank.
- Use fresh DOT3 or DOT4 brake fluid when refilling fluid.

2) Make sure that brake fluid does not leak from master cylinder, operating cylinder and piping.
3) Apply grease sufficiently to the release lever pinion.
4) Check for proper clutch disengagement and clutch pedal returnability.
