MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 477 WARNING! Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire. Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container to avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture. Clutch Hydraulic System The clutch hydraulic system is a sealed maintenance-free system. In the event of leakage or other malfunction, the system must be replaced. Clutch Linkage If the clutch pedal linkage begins to squeak or grunt, the clutch pedal pivot bushings should be lubricated. Refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for the correct lubricant type. Rear Axle And 4x4 Front Driving Axle Fluid Level Refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for the correct Fluid type. For normal service, periodic fluid level checks are not required. When the vehicle is serviced for other reasons the exterior surfaces of the axle assembly should be inspected. If gear oil leakage is suspected inspect the fluid level. CAUTION! Do not allow a petroleum-base fluid to contaminate the brake fluid. Seal damage may result. 7
