CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE — Exhaust System / Clutch System / M/T Oil
MA-17prose procedureThree manual transaxle variants (RS5F41A / RS5F30A / RS5F31V) have different oil capacities and drain-plug torque values.
Checking Exhaust System
Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper attachment and for leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
Checking Clutch System
Check cable and links for improper attachment, chafing, wear and deterioration.
Checking M/T Oil
