2008 DODGE VIPER clutch

Use only the manufacturer's recommended clutch fluid.
Refer to ªFluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Partsº for the
correct fluid type.
WARNING!
Overfilling the clutch fluid reservoir can result in
spilling clutch fluid on hot engine parts and the
clutch fluid catching fire.
Use only clutch fluid that has been in a tightly closed
container to avoid contamination from foreign matter.
CAUTION!
²Do not allow petroleum base fluid to contaminate
the clutch fluid, all clutch seal components could
be damaged causing partial or complete clutch
failure.
²Clutch fluid can damage the finish of your vehicle.
Do not allow clutch fluid to contact any painted
surface.
Change Clutch Fluid
Clutch fluid will tend to absorb moisture from the
atmosphere over time. If the fluid becomes contaminated
with water, clutch performance will deteriorate. There-
fore, the clutch fluid must be changed at the intervals
specified in the ªMaintenance Schedulesº in this manu-
al.See your authorized dealer for service.

LLAlthough not required, the manufacturer recom-
mends reprogramming TPMS after rotating tires so sys-
tem can relearn tire pressure sensor location. For more
information refer to Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) in Section 5 of this manual.Inspection and service should also be performed anytime
a malfunction is observed or suspected. Retain all re-
ceipts.
