CLUTCH PEDAL CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Turn up the carpet etc. under the clutch pedal.





2. Measure the clutch pedal height.
Standard value (A): 202.1 - 206.1 mm (7.96 - 8.11 inch)

CAUTION: Do not push in the master cylinder pushrod at this time, otherwise the clutch will not operate properly.





3. If the height of the clutch pedal is outside the standard value, loosen the setting nut to adjust the pedal height to the standard value.





4. Measure the clutch pedal clevis pin play.
Standard value (B): 1 - 3 mm (0.04 - 0.12 inch)

CAUTION: Do not push in the master cylinder pushrod at this time, otherwise the clutch will not operate properly.





5. If the clutch pedal clevis pin play is not within the standard value, loosen the setting nut to adjust the clutch pedal clevis pin play to the standard value.





6. After completing the adjustments, confirm that the clutch pedal free play (measured at the face of the pedal pad) and the distance between the clutch pedal (the face of the pedal pad) and the clutch pedal stopper when the clutch is disengaged are within the standard value ranges.
Standard value (C): 4 - 13 mm (0.16 - 0.51 inch)
Standard value (D): 114.3 mm (4.5 inches) or more





7. If the clutch pedal free play and the distance between the clutch pedal and the clutch pedal stopper when the clutch is disengaged do not agree with the standard values, it is probably the result of either air in the hydraulic system or a faulty master cylinder, clutch cylinder or clutch. Bleed the air, or disassemble and inspect the master cylinder, clutch cylinder or clutch.
