Clutch Pedal Assembly: Testing and Inspection

CLUTCH: CLUTCH PEDAL: ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

1. INSPECT AND ADJUST CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT

(a) Turn back the floor carpet.

(b) Check the pedal height.





Pedal height from floor:

158.8 to 168.8 mm (6.252 to 6.645 in.)

If necessary, adjust the pedal height.

(c) Adjust the pedal height.

(1) Loosen the lock nut and turn the clutch switch until the height is correct. Tighten the lock nut.

Torque : 16 Nm (163 kgf-cm, 12 ft-lbf)

(d) Install the floor carpet.

2. INSPECT CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY AND PUSH ROD PLAY

(a) Check that the pedal free play and push rod play are correct.





(1) Depress the pedal until clutch resistance is felt.

Pedal free play:

5.0 to 15.0 mm (0.197 to 0.591 in.)

(2) Gently depress the pedal until the resistance begins to increase a little.

Push rod play at pedal top:

1.0 to 5.0 mm (0.0394 to 0.197 in.)

(b) Adjust the pedal free play and push rod play.

(1) Loosen the lock nut and turn the push rod until the free play and push rod play are correct.

(2) Tighten the lock nut.

Torque : 12 Nm (120 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf)

(3) After adjusting the pedal free play, check the pedal height.

3. INSPECT CLUTCH RELEASE POINT

(a) Check the clutch release point.





(1) Pull the parking brake lever and install the wheel stopper.

(2) Start and idle the engine.

(3) Without depressing the clutch pedal, slowly move the shift lever to the reverse position until the gears are engaged.

(4) Gradually depress the clutch pedal and measure the stroke distance from the point that the gear noise stops (release point) to the full stroke end position.

Standard distance:

25 mm (0.984 in.) or more (From pedal stroke end position to release point)

If the distance is not as specified, perform the following operations:

* Check the pedal height.

* Check push rod play and pedal free play.

* Bleed the clutch line.

* Check the clutch cover assembly and disc assembly.
