How to Add Fluid Rear Axle
Here’s how to add fluid. Refer to the Maintenance
Schedule
to determine what kind of fluid to use. See
“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
1. 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.
3. Install the filler plug. Be sure the plug is fully seated.
When to Check and Change Lubricant
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how
often to check the lubricant and when to change it. See
“Periodic Maintenance Inspections” and “Scheduled
Maintenance Services” in the Index.
How to Check Lubricant
Clutch Adjustment
The clutch linkage in your vehicle should be checked as
recommended in your Maintenance Schedule.
To check,
push the clutch pedal down with your hand until you
feel some resistance to movement of the pedal.
If the
pedal moves freely up to
1 inch (25 mm) or so before
you feel resistance to the travel, adjustment isn’t needed.
If there
is no free travel or very little (less than 5/8 of an
inch (16 mm)), see your dealer for adjustment.
If the level
is below the bottom of the filler plug hole,
you‘ll need to add some lubricant. Add enough lubricant
to raise the level to the bottom of the filler plug hole.
