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. When to Check and What to Use 3. Install the filler plug. Be sure the plug is fully seated. 4. Tighten the plug to 20 Ib ft (27 N*m ). Hydraulic Clutch The hydraulic clutch linkage in your vehicle is self-adjusting. The master cylinder reservoir is filled with hydraulic fluid. It is not necessary to regularly check the fluid unless you suspect there is a leak in the system. Adding fluid won't correct a leak. A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and repaired. The clutch master cylinder reservoir is located at the rear of the engine compartment on the driver's side. See Engine Compartment Overview on page5-12 for more information on location. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often you should check the fluid level in your master cylinder reservoir and for the proper fluid. See Part B: Owner Checks and Services on page 6-7 and Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6- 13. 5-22
