GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Service and maintenance procedures for compo-
nents and systems listed in Schedule ± A or B can be
found by using the Group Tab Locator index at the
front of this manual. If it is not clear which group
contains the information needed, refer to the index at
the back of this manual.
There are two maintenance schedules that show
proper service based on the conditions that the vehi-
cle is subjected to.
Schedule ±A, lists scheduled maintenance to be
performed when the vehicle is used for general trans-
portation.
Schedule ±B, lists maintenance intervals for vehi-
cles that are operated under the conditions listed at
the beginning of the Maintenance Schedule section.
Use the schedule that best describes your driving
conditions.
Where time and mileage are listed, follow the
interval that occurs first.

GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE OIL Ð GASOLINE ENGINES
Use only oils conforming to API (American Petro-
leum Institute) Quality SJ and Energy Conserving II,
or SH and Energy Conserving II, or ACEA A1±96.
SAE VISCOSITY GRADE
To assure of properly formulated engine oils, it is
recommended that SAE Grade 5W-30 engine oils that
meet Chrysler material standard MS-6395, be used.
SAE Grade 10W-30 oils are also acceptable when the
temperatures do not fall below 0ÉC. In areas where
these grades are not generally available, higher SAE
grades may be used.
Lubricants which have both an SAE grade number
and the proper API service classification shown on
the container should be used.
ENGINE OILÐDIESEL ENGINES
Use only Diesel Engine Oil meeting standardMIL-
2104Cor API ClassificationSG/CDorCCMC PD2.
SAE VISCOSITY GRADE
CAUTION: Low viscosity oils must have the proper
API quality or the CCMC G5 designation.
To assure of properly formulated engine oils, it is recom-
mended that SAE Grade 15W-40 engine oils that meet
Chrysler material standard MS-6395, be used. European
Grade 10W-40 oils are also acceptable.
Oils of the SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 grade number
are preferred when minimum temperatures consis-
tently fall below -12ÉC.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION FLUID (A-558 and A-598
Models)
Use only SAE 10W-40 engine oils carrying the
European CCMC-G5 classification to fill the A-598
5±speed manual transmission.

SERVICE PROCEDURES
MASTER CYLINDER FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Check master cylinder reservoir fluid level a mini-
mum of twice annually.
Master cylinder reservoirs are marked with the
words FULL and ADD to indicate proper brake fluid
fill level of the master cylinder (Fig. 26).
If necessary, add brake fluid to bring the level to
the bottom of the FULL mark on the side of the mas-
ter cylinder fluid reservoir.When filling master
cylinder fluid reservoir do not fill the filler
neck of the fluid reservoir (Fig. 26) with brake
fluid.
Use only Mopartbrake fluid or an equivalent from
a sealed container. Brake fluid must conform to DOT
3, specifications.
DO NOTuse brake fluid with a lower boiling
point, as brake failure could result during prolonged
hard braking.
Use only brake fluid that was stored in a tightly-
sealed container.
DO NOTuse petroleum-based fluid because seal
damage will result. Petroleum based fluids would be
items such as engine oil, transmission fluid, power
steering fluid ect.
BLEEDING BASE BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
NOTE: This bleeding procedure is only for the vehi-
cle's base brakes hydraulic system. For bleeding
the antilock brakes hydraulic system, refer to the
ITT Teves Mark 20 Antilock Brake System bleeding
procedure in the antilock brakes section of this ser-
vice manual.
PRESSURE BLEEDING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder
cover, throughly clean the cover and master cylin-
der fluid reservoir to prevent dirt and other foreign
matter from dropping into the master cylinder fluid
reservoir.
CAUTION: Use bleeder tank Special Tool C-3496-B
with adapter Special Tool 6921 to pressurize the
hydraulic system for bleeding.
CAUTION: When pressure bleeding the brakes
hydraulic system the fluid reservoir filler neck must
be removed from the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
Failure to remove the filler neck from the fluid res-
ervoir, may result in the filler neck separating from
the fluid reservoir when the hydraulic system is
pressurized.
Follow pressure bleeder manufacturer's instruc-
tions, for use of pressure bleeding equipment.
When bleeding the brake system, some air may be
trapped in the brake lines or valves far upstream, as
much as ten feet from the bleeder screw (Fig. 27).
Therefore, it is essential to have a fast flow of a large
volume of brake fluid when bleeding the brakes to
ensure all the air gets out.
(1) Remove the filler neck from the master cylin-
der fluid reservoir.
(2) Install the Adapter Master Cylinder Pressure
Bleed Cap, Special Tool 6921 on the fluid reservoir of
the master cylinder (Fig. 28). Attach the fluid hose
from the pressure bleeder to the fitting on Special
Tool 6921.
(3) Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleeder screw
at one wheel and feed the hose into a clear jar con-
taining fresh brake fluid.

(13) Lower the vehicle to the ground.Be sure
that the suspension is supporting the full
weight of the vehicle.
(14) Tighten the spring to front hanger pivot bolts
to a torque of 156 N´m (115 ft. lbs.).
(15) Tighten the shock absorber mounting bolts to
a torque of 101 N´m (75 ft. lbs.).
(16) Tighten the track bar mounting bolt to a
torque of 95 N´m (70 ft. lbs.).
(17) Road test vehicle to ensure that the prema-
ture rear wheel lockup condition has been corrected.
SPECIFICATIONS
BRAKE FLUID
The brake fluid used in this vehicle must conform
to DOT 3 specifications and SAE J1703 standards.No other type of brake fluid is recommended or
approved for usage in the vehicle brake system. Use
only Mopar brake fluid or an equivalent from a
tightly sealed container.
CAUTION: Never use reclaimed brake fluid or fluid
from an container which has been left open. An
open container will absorb moisture from the air
and contaminate the fluid.
CAUTION: Never use any type of a petroleum-
based fluid in the brake hydraulic system. Use of
such type fluids will result in seal damage of the
vehicle brake hydraulic system causing a failure of
the vehicle brake system. Petroleum based fluids
would be items such as engine oil, transmission
fluid, power steering fluid ect.

GENERAL INFORMATION
CLUTCH COMPONENTS
The clutch used in the 2.0 liter and 2.4 liter gaso-
line engine is a single, dry-disc modular clutch
assembly. The modular clutch assembly combines the
pressure plate cover, pressure plate, disc, and fly-
wheel into one unit. The unit rides on the input shaft
of the transmission and is bolted to the drive plate
mounted on the rear of the crankshaft. The clutch
used in the 2.5 liter diesel engine is a conventional
clutch and pressure plate arrangement.
CLUTCH CABLE AND PEDAL Ð LHD
The clutch cable has a unique self-adjuster mecha-
nism built into the cable which compensates for
clutch disc wear. The cable requires no maintenance
