NOTICE:
Too much or too little fluid can damage your
transmission.
Too
much can mean that some of
the fluid could come out and
fall
on hot engine
parts or exhaust system parts, starting
a
fire. Be
sure to get an accurate reading 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.
2.
3.
Remove the filler plug.
Check that the lubricant level is up to
the
bottom
of
the filler plug hole.
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 fluid. Refer
to
the Maintenance
Schedule to determine what kind
of
fluid
to
use.
See
“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
I.
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
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
5/23
of
an
inch
(16
mm)),
see
your dealer
for
adjustment.
