charging pipe with the engine running at idle speed.
CAUTION:
Only use the specifi ed NISSAN CVT fluid.
3. Refill until new CVT fluid comes out from CVT fluid cooler hose [outlet side (1)]. NOTE:
About 30 to 50% extra fluid will be required for this procedure.
4. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-37, "

CLUTCH FLUID
CLUTCH FLUID : Air Bleeding ProcedureINFOID:0000000005931169
CAUTION:
Do not spill clutch fluid onto painted surfaces. If it spills, wipe up immediately and wash the affected
area with water.
NOTE:
• Do not use a vacuum assist or any other type of power bleeder on this system. Use of a vacuum assist or power bleeder will not purge all the air from the system.
• Carefully monitor fluid level in reservoir tank during bleeding operation.
1. Fill master cylinder reservoir tank with new clutch fluid.
2. Connect a transparent vinyl tube and container to the bleeding connector (1) on the CSC.
3. Depress and release the clutch pedal slowly and fully 15 times at an interval of two to three seconds and release the clutch
pedal.
4. Push in the lock pin (1) of the bleeding connector (2), and maintain the position. • RS5F91R transaxle models
CAUTION:
Hold the lock pin in to preven t the bleeding connector from
separating when fluid pressure is applied.
