DESCRIPTION
MECHANICAL
PL vehicles with a 2.0L engine use a modular
clutch assembly (Fig. 1). The clutch is located
between the engine and manual transaxle in the
transaxle bellhousing. The clutch system consists of
the following components:
• Flywheel
• Clutch Disc
• Pressure Plate
• Diaphragm Spring
• Cover
HYDRAULIC
The clutch hydraulic system (Fig. 2) consists of a
clutch master cylinder and integral reservoir, a
clutch slave cylinder and integral damper, and an
interconnecting fluid line.
FLUID
CAUTION: Never use any type of petroleum-based
fluid (engine oil, transmission oil, power steering
fluid, etc.) in the clutch hydraulic system. Use of
such fluids will result in master/slave cylinder seal
damage, and cause a failure of the hydraulic clutch
release system.
NOTE: The clutch hydraulic system and replace-
ment components are pre-filled, and under normal
operating conditions, additional fluid is not required
for the life of the vehicle.
The fluid required for use in the clutch hydraulic
system is brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 specifica-
tions and J1703 standards. No other type of fluid is
recommended or approved for use in the clutch
hydraulic system. use only Mopart brake fluid or
equivalent from a tightly sealed container.
