all of the components for the top, including a plug in the side of the motor to fill with fluid from are under the back seat area. Refill for fluid is dex trans fluid.

To check the hydraulic pressure of the convertible top on a 93 Cutlass Supreme, you will need a hydraulic pressure gauge. Connect the gauge to the hydraulic line and measure the pressure when operating the top. To increase the pressure or refill the fluid, locate the hydraulic pump and reservoir, and add the appropriate hydraulic fluid recommended by the manufacturer until the pressure reaches the desired level. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the correct type of fluid to use.
A list of Preventive Maintenance Task for a Hydraulic System could be: Change the (could be the return or pressure filter) hydraulic filter. Obtain a hydraulic fluid sample. Filter hydraulic fluid. Check hydraulic actuators. Clean the inside of a hydraulic reservoir. Clean the outside of a hydraulic reservoir.

Hydraulic or mechanical? If hydraulic Check fluid level Check operation of Master and Slave cylinders Check operation of throw-out bearing Check operation of pressure plate If mechanical: Check pedal to see if linkage disconnected or broken Check pressure plate and throw-out bearing
Check your hydraulic clutch reservoir to make sure it is full, if it is, it may be bad and need to replace.
Not Sure
The pressure generated by a hydraulic pump is determined by factors such as the pump's displacement volume, operating speed, and system resistance. Increasing the displacement volume or operating speed can increase pressure, while higher system resistance will require more pressure to overcome.
The pump is located in the trunk behind the back seat. You will need to place some rags to collect the hydraulic fluid. Disconnect the lines and the mounting and replace the pump. Before you do all of that you need to check and be sure that you have power and a good ground to the pump.
