Check the fluid level only when your engine
is
off,
the
vehicle is parked on
a
level place and the transmission is
cool enough for
you
to rest your fingers
on
the
transmission case.
Then, follow these steps:
1.
Remove the filler plug.
How
to
Add Fluid
Here’s how to add fluid. Refer to the Maintenance
Schedule
to
determine what kind
of
fluid to use. See
“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
1.
Remove the filler plug.
2.
Add fluid at the filler plug hole. Add only enough
fluid to bring the fluid level up to the bottom of the
filler plug hole.
3.
Install the filler plug. Be sure the plug is fully seated.
Clutch Adjustment
The clutch linkage in your vehicle should be checked as
recommended in your Maintenance Schedule. To check,
push the clutch pedal down with your hand until you
feel some resistance to movement
of
the pedal.
If
the
pedal moves freely up to
1
inch
(2.5
cm) or
so
before
you
feel resistance
to
the travel, adjustment isn’t needed.
If there is no free travel or very little (less than
5/8
of
an inch
(1.6
cm), see your dealer for adjustment.
2.
Check that the lubricant level is up to the bottom
of
the filler plug hole.
3.
If the fluid level is good, install the plug and be sure
it is fully seated.
If
the fluid level is low, add more
fluid as described in the next steps.
