INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
73SB7-01E
To check the gear oil level, use the fol-
lowing procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop
the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler and level plug.
For the manual transmission;
3) If gear oil flows from the plug hole, the
oil level is correct. Reinstall the plug. If
gear oil does not flow from the plug
hole, add oil through the filler plug hole
until oil flows a little from the plug hole.
For the transfer and rear differential;
3) Check the inside of the hole with your
finger. If the oil level comes up to the
bottom of the plug hole, the oil level is
correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil
through the oil filler and level plug hole
until the oil level reaches the bottom of
the filler hole, and then reinstall the
plug.

Clutch pedal play “d”:
10 – 15 mm (0.4 – 0.6 in.)
Measure the clutch pedal play by moving
the clutch pedal with your hand and mea-
suring the distance it moves until you feel
slight resistance. The play in the clutch
pedal should be between the specified val-
ues. If the play is more or less than the
above, or clutch dragging is felt with the
pedal fully depressed, have the clutch
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.
CAUTION
After driving the vehicle, the gear oil
temperature may be high enough to
burn you. Wait until the oil filler and
level plug are cool enough to touch
with your bare hands before inspect-
ing gear oil level.
NOTICE
When tightening the plug, apply the
following sealing compound or
equivalent to the plug threads to pre-
vent oil leakage.
