Additional Notes

  • The Reliant Kitten manual transmission holds 0.64 liter of fluid, a relatively small capacity consistent with the compact gearboxes found in lightweight economy vehicles of the era.
  • Under normal use conditions, the manual transmission fluid level is checked at 10,000 km intervals, with a full fluid change scheduled at 20,000 km.
  • An initial service change is specified at 1,500 km, a notably short interval compared to the 20,000 km normal change schedule, reflecting the practice of flushing early contaminants produced during mechanical break-in.
  • The 0.64 liter capacity figure applies equally to both the normal and initial service entries, indicating a consistent service fill volume regardless of the service stage.
