Clutch Fluid
8. Clutch Fluid
A: INSPECTION
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2) Inspect the fluid level using scale on the outside
of the reservoir tank. If the level is below “MIN”, add
fluid to bring it up to “MAX”, and also inspect for
leakage.
B: REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:
 The FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT3 or DOT4
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:
 For convenience and safety, it is advisable to
have two men working.
1) Remove the air cleaner case and air chamber.
2) Either jack-up the vehicle and place a rigid rack
under it, or lift-up the vehicle.
3) Draw out the brake fluid from reservoir tank with
syringe.
4) Refill the reservoir tank with new recommended
brake fluid.
Recommended brake fluid:
FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT3 or DOT4 brake
fluid
5) Drain fluid in the same method as air bleeding.
6) Refill the brake fluid before reservoir tank be-
comes empty, and drain contaminated fluid again.
7) Repeat the above procedure until the contami-
nated fluid is completely drained.

6) Remove the spacer, bushing and pedal pad from
clutch pedal.
D: ASSEMBLY
1) Attach the stopper, etc. to pedal bracket tempo-
rarily.
2) Clean inside of bores of clutch pedal and brake
pedal, apply grease, and set bushings into bores.
3) Align bores of pedal bracket, clutch pedal and
brake pedal, attach the brake pedal return spring,
assist rods, spring, and bushing.
NOTE:
Clean up inside of bushings and apply grease be-
fore installing the spacer.
4) Install the hill holder cable to clutch pedal.

1. CLUTCH PEDAL
Move the clutch pedal pads in the lateral direction
with a force of approx. 10 N (1 kgf, 2 lb) to ensure
pedal deflection is in specified range.

If excessive deflection is noted, replace the bush-
ings with new ones.

General Diagnostic Table
12.General Diagnostic Table
A: INSPECTION
1. CLUTCH
Symptom Possible cause Corrective
1. Clutch slippage.
It is hard to perceive clutch slippage in
the early stage, but pay attention to the
following symptoms
 Engine speed up when shifting.
 High speed driving is impossible; espe-
cially rapid acceleration impossible and
vehicle speed does not increase in pro-
portion to an increase in engine speed.
 Power falls, particularly when ascend-
ing a slope, and there is a smell of burn-
ing of the clutch facing.
 Method of testing: Put the vehicle in
stationary condition with parking brake
fully applied. Disengage the clutch and
shift the transmission gear into the first.
Gradually allow the clutch to engage
while gradually increasing the engine
speed. The clutch function is satisfactory
if the engine stalls. However, the clutch is
slipping if the vehicle does not start off
and the engine does not stall.(a) Clutch facing smeared by oil Replace.
(b) Worn clutch facing Replace.
(c) Deteriorated diaphragm spring Replace.
(d) Distorted pressure plate or flywheel Replace.
(e) Defective release bearing holder Replace.
2. Clutch drags.
As a symptom of this trouble, a harsh
scratching noise develops and control
becomes quite difficult when shifting
gears. The symptom becomes more
apparent when shifting into the first gear.
However, because much trouble of this
sort is due to defective synchronization
mechanism, carry out the test as
described after.
 Method of testing: DIAGNOSTIC DIAGRAM OF CLUTCH
DRAG, INSPECTION, General Diagnos-
tic Table.>
It may be judged as insufficient disen-
gagement of clutch if any noise occurs
during this test.(a) Worn or rusty clutch disc hub spline Replace the clutch disc.
(b) Excessive deflection of clutch disc
facingReplace.
(c) Malfunction of crankshaft pilot bearing Replace.
(d) Cracked clutch disc facing Replace.
(e) Stuck clutch disc (smeared by oil or
water)Replace.
3. Clutch chatters.
Clutch chattering is an unpleasant vibra-
tion to the whole body when the vehicle is
just started with clutch partially engaged.(a) Adhesion of oil on the facing Replace the clutch disc.
(b) Weak or broken torsion spring Replace the clutch disc.
(c) Defective facing contact or excessive
disc wornReplace the clutch disc defection.
(d) Warped pressure plate or flywheel Replace.
(e) Loose disc rivets Replace the clutch disc.
(f) Loose engine mounting Retighten or replace the mounting.
(g) Improper adjustment of pitching stop-
perAdjustment.
