may damage the clutch system resulting in loss of
clutch function and the ability to shift the transmis-
sion.

bottom of the hole.
Add fluid, if necessary, to maintain the proper level.
Please see your authorized dealer for service.

life of the vehicle. Fluid changes are not necessary
unless lubricant has become contaminated with water.
NOTE: If contaminated with water, the fluid should be
changed immediately.

maintain the transmission fluid at the correct level
using the recommended fluid. No chemical flushes
should be used in any transmission; only the approved
lubricant should be used.
