Clutch Fluid: Service and Repair

REPLACEMENT

Important: 

^

The FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT3 or 4 brake fluid must be used.

^

Cover the bleeder with waste cloth, when loosening it, to prevent brake fluid from being splashed over surrounding parts.

^

Avoid mixing different brands of brake fluid to prevent degrading the quality of the fluid.

^

Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to get into the reservoir tank.

Note: 

^

During bleeding operation, keep the clutch reservoir tank filled with brake fluid to eliminate entry of air.

^

Clutch pedal operating must be very slow.

^

For convenience and safety, it is advisable to have two men working.

^

The amount of brake fluid required is approximately 70m liters (2.4 US fl oz, 2.5 Imp fl oz) for total clutch system.

Remove the air intake chamber.
Either jack-up the vehicle and place a rigid rack under it, or lift-up the vehicle.
Drain brake fluid from the reservoir tank.
Refill the reservoir tank with recommended brake fluid.

Recommended brake fluid: FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT3 or 4 brake fluid

Drain all contaminated fluid in the same method as air bleeding.
Refill the brake fluid before reservoir tank becomes empty, and drain contaminated fluid again.
Repeat the above procedure until the contaminated fluid is completely drained.
