Inspecting Clutch Fluid Level*

During normal operation, the fluid level
in the clutch reservoir should remain
constant. If for any reason the fluid level
drops, maintain the fluid level at the step
in the reservoir body.

*Some models.

Use only a DOT 3 brake fluid designed to
meet Mazda specifications.

1. Clean the reservoir cap before

removal to prevent dirt and water
from entering the reservoir.

2. Remove cap and rubber diaphragm

from reservoir.

3. Add fluid until the level reaches the

step in the reservoir.

4. Reinstall rubber diaphragm and cap

onto reservoir.

CAUTION

Clutch fluid will damage painted sur-
faces. If clutch fluid does get
on a painted surface, wipe it off
immediately.

CAUTION

Using nonspecified clutch fluids
(see chart, page 10-2) will damage
the system. Mixing different fluids
will also damage it.
If the clutch system frequently
requires new fluid, it should be
inspected. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer immediately.
