Clutch Pedal Freeplay

On AWD vehicles, depress clutch pedal two to three times with the engine off to eliminate booster negative pressure before testing pedal freeplay.
To determine if the pedal freeplay is not within specification, depress clutch pedal by hand until clutch resistance is felt. Measure the distance between upper pedal height and where resistance is felt. Freeplay should be 0.24-0.51 inches. After pedal freeplay has been checked, measure the distance between the clutch pedal and the floorpan when the clutch disengages. On AWD vehicles, measure distance with engine running. Clearance should be 2.2 inches or greater.
If the pedal freeplay and/or clutch disengagement clearance is not within specification, bleed the clutch hydraulic system.
