Clutch Fluid: Testing and Inspection

CLUTCH FLUID LEVEL

Fluid level is checked at the clutch master cylinder reservoir (Fig. 3). Correct fluid level is to the ring indicator in the cylinder reservoir (Fig. 4).

The only fluid recommended for use in the clutch hydraulic system is Mopar brake fluid, or equivalent meeting SAE J-1703 and DOT 3 standards.

Never use reclaimed brake fluid or fluid from an unsealed container. In addition, do not use fluid from a container that has been opened and allowed to stand for any length of time. Moisture in the air can be absorbed by the fluid causing dilution and loss of effectiveness.
