320 MAINTENANCE CLUTCH FLUID (MANUAL TRANSAXLE) To replace the fluid Recommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture. Good CAUTION! • Do not allow petroleum-based fluid to contact, mix with, or otherwise contaminate the clutch fluid. Seal damage will result. • Take care in handling clutch fluid as it may cause damage to painted surfaces. • Use only the specified clutch fluid. Also, the additives in different brands may result in a chemical reaction when mixed together, so avoid mixing different brands if possible. • Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to prevent the clutch fluid from deteriorating due to moisture or air exposure. M10A0040 To check the clutch fluid The clutch fluid in the clutch master cylinder should be checked when performing other underhood services. In addition, the system should be checked for leakage at the same time. Check to make certain that the clutch fluid level is always between the MAX and MIN level markings on the fluid reservoir and refill the fluid, if necessary. A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in the clutch system which should be inspected by an authorized dealer and repaired immediately.
