FLUID LEVEL
LEVEL CHECK AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE
1) Stop vehicle and place it level.
2) Apply parking brake and place chocks against wheels.
3) With selector at P position, start engine.
4) Warm up engine till fluid temperature reaches normal operating
temperature (70 ± 80C / 158 ± 176F). As a guide to check fluid
temperature, warm up engine till engine coolant temperature
meter indicated around 1 unit above ªCº point.
5) Keep engine idling and shift selector slowly to L and back to P
position.
6) With engine idling, pull out dipstick, wipe it off with a clean cloth
and put it back into place.
7) Pull out dipstick again and check fluid level indicated on it. Fluid
level should be between FULL HOT and LOW HOT. If it is below
LOW HOT, add an equivalent of DEXRON-III up to FULL HOT.
Fluid specification
An equivalent of DEXRON-III
NOTE:

DO NOT RACE ENGINE while checking fluid level, even af-
ter the engine start.

DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling can causes foaming and
loss of fluid through breather. Then slippage and trans-
mission failure can result.

Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL HOT requires
0.3 liters (0.64/0.53 US/lmp.pt).

If vehicle was driven under high load such as pulling a
trailer, fluid level should be checked about half an hour af-
ter it is stopped.

CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT
Adjust clutch pedal height by loosening clevis lock nut and turning
push rod as shown.
Clutch pedal height is normal if clutch pedal is about
20 mm (0.79 in.) higher than brake pedal.
After adjusting, tighten lock nut to specified torque.
Tightening Torque
(a): 10 N
.m (1.0 kg-m, 7.5 lb-ft)
CLUTCH PEDAL FREE TRAVEL
Depress clutch pedal, stop the moment clutch resistance is felt and
measure distance (clutch pedal free travel). Free travel should be
within following specification.
Pedal free travel ªaº: 15 ± 25 mm (0.6 ± 1.1 in.)
CLUTCH FLUID PIPE AND HOSE
REMOVAL
NOTE:
Do not allow fluid to get on painted surface.
1) Remove dust and dirt from each joint of hose and pipe to be dis-
connected and clean around reservoir cap.
2) Take out fluid with syringe or such.
3) Disconnect fluid pipe from hose.
NOTE:
To disconnect pipe from hose, separate them by using flare
nut wrench and spanner so as not to kink them.

INSTALLATION
1) To bleed air from master cylinder itself, tilt it as shown in figure
and add fluid into it.
NOTE:
After bleeding air from master cylinder, plug pipe hole in it
to prevent fluid from spilling out of it till pipe is connected.
2) Install master cylinder assembly and new gasket to body, attach-
ing bolt, nuts and push rod clevis pin.
NOTE:
Do not reuse gasket.
3) Torque attaching bolt and nut to specification.
4) Connect fluid pipe and torque flare nut to specification.

5) Apply grease to clevis pin and install it.
ªAº: Grease 99000-25010
6) Fill reservoir with specified brake fluid and check fluid leakage.
7) After installation, bleed air from system and check clutch pedal
free travel. Refer to BRAKE section for air bleeding procedure.
FLUID INSPECTION
Fluid level should be always between MIN and MAX lines on reser-
voir. If fluid decreases quickly, check for leakage, repair leaky point,
if any, and add fluid up to MAX level.
NOTE:

Brake fluid damages painted surface badly. Should it get on
painted surface, remove it immediately and clean surface
thoroughly.

Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other fluid which con-
tains mineral oil. Do not use container which has been used
for mineral oil or which is wet from water. Mineral oil will
cause swelling and distortion of rubber parts in hydraulic
clutch system and water will mix with brake fluid, lowering
fluid boiling point. Keep all fluid containers capped to pre-
vent contamination.

Make sure not to use fluid whose container cap was first
opened more than a year ago.

DISASSEMBLY
1) Remove boot and then circlip with piston pushed in.
2) Remove push rod and blow compressed air gradually into hole
for pipe connection to remove piston assembly, using care to
prevent it from jumping out.
INSPECTION
Inspect all disassembled parts for wear or damage and replace
parts if necessary.
NOTE:

Wash disassembled parts with brake fluid.

Do not reuse piston assembly and circlip.
Inspect cylinder bore for scoring or corrosion. It is best to replace
corroded cylinder. Corrosion can be identified as pits or excessive
roughness.
NOTE:
Polishing bore of cylinder with anything abrasive is prohib-
ited, as damage to cylinder bore may occur.
Rinse cylinder in clean brake fluid. Shake excess rinsing fluid from
cylinder. Do not use a cloth to dry cylinder, as lint from cloth cannot
be kept away from cylinder bore surfaces.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Before installation, wash each part in specified brake fluid.
1) Apply brake fluid to inside of piston assembly and cylinder body.
2) Install piston assembly into cylinder.
3) With piston pushed down, install circlip as shown.
And install boot.
