CLUTCH PEDAL

Inspection and Adjustment


INSPECTION






1.Make sure that clevis pin (1) floats freely in the bore of clutch pedal. It should not be bound by clevis or clutch pedal.
a.If clevis pin is not free, make sure that ASCD clutch switch (2) is not applying pressure to clutch pedal causing clevis pin to bind.
To adjust, loosen lock nut (3) and turn ASCD clutch switch.
b.Tighten lock nut. Refer to "Exploded View" Exploded View.
c.Make sure that clevis pin floats in the bore of clutch pedal. It should not be bound by clutch pedal.
d.If clevis pin is still not free, remove clevis pin and check for deformation or damage. Replace clevis pin if necessary. Leave clevis pin removed for step 2.
2.Check clutch pedal stroke for free range of movement.
a.With clevis pin removed, manually move clutch pedal up and down to determine if it moves freely.
b.If any sticking is found, replace related parts (bushing, clutch pedal, etc.). Reassemble clutch pedal and again make sure that clevis pin floats freely in the bore of clutch pedal.
3.Check clutch hydraulic and system components (clutch master cylinder, CSC, etc.) for sticking or binding.
a.If any sticking or binding is found, repair or replace related parts as necessary.
b.If hydraulic system repair was necessary, bleed the clutch hydraulic system. Refer to "Air Bleeding Procedure" Air Bleeding Procedure.
NOTE:
Do not use a vacuum assist or any other type of power bleeder on this system. Use of vacuum assist or power bleeder will not purge all the air from the system.

ADJUSTMENT






1.Adjust clutch interlock switch (1) position so that clearance between stopper rubber (2) and thread end (A) of clutch interlock switch with clutch pedal depressed is clearance "C".

Clearance "C": Refer to "Clutch Pedal" Clutch Pedal.

2.After adjusting clearance "C", tighten lock nut (3) to the specified torque. Refer to "Exploded View" Exploded View.
