Inspection
Clutch System Service
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Check the gear lubricant level and add if needed. See “Rear Axle” and “Four-Wheel Drive” in
the Index. A fluid loss may indicate a problem. Check the system(s), and repair the system(s) if
needed. Refer to “Scheduled Maintenance Services,” earlier in
this part, to determine when to
change the lubricant.
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface condition. Also
inspect
drum brake linings for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums,
wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc. Check parking brake adjustment. You may need to
have your brakes inspected more often if your driving habits or conditions result in frequent
braking.
NOTE: A low brake fluid level can indicate worn disc brake pads which may need to be serv-
iced. Also,
if the brake system warning light stays on or comes on, something may be wrong
with either the regular or rear wheel anti-lock brake system, or both systems. See “Brake System
Warning Light” in the Index.
Check clutch pedal free travel and adjust
as necessary. See “Clutch Adjustment” in the Index. ..
