Checking the clutch fluid level is an essential part of maintaining your vehicle’s hydraulic clutch system. The clutch fluid transfers the force from the clutch master cylinder to the clutch slave cylinder, which disengages the clutch and allows you to shift gears. Over time, clutch fluid can become contaminated with moisture and debris, which can lead to a spongy clutch pedal or even clutch failure. Therefore, it’s important to check the clutch fluid level regularly and top it off as needed.
Checking the clutch fluid level is a relatively simple process. You will need a clean rag or paper towel and a flashlight.
