If
you do
it
yourself, be sure to follow all
the instructions here, or you could get a
false reading.
NOTICE:
Too
much or too little fluid can
darnage your transmission.
Too
much
can mean that some of the tluid could
come out and Pall on hot engine parts
or
exhaust system parts, starting a
fire. Be sure to get an accurate read-
ing
if
you check
your
transmission
fluid.
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.
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.
How
to
Add
Fluid:
Here’s how to add tluid. Refer
to
the
Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind
of
tluid
to
use. See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants”
in
the Index.
1.
Rernove the filler plug.
2.
Add tluid at the filler plug hole. Add
only
enough fluid to bring the fluid
level
LIP
to the bottom of the filler
plug
hole.
3.
Install the filler plug.
Be
sure the plug
is
fully
seated.
CIutch
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 an inch
(25
mm)
or
so
before you feel resistance to the travel,
adjustment isn’t needed.
If there is no free travel or very little
(less than
S/8
of an inch), see your dealer
for adjustment.
