ADJUSTMENT

CLUTCH PEDAL

Turn the lock nuts until clutch pedal full stroke length is within specifications.

Important

Do not attempt to turn the clutch switch to adjust clutch pedal full stroke length.


Note

If lock nuts cannot adjust the clutch pedal full stroke length to specifications, turn the master cylinder push rod to adjust it.


Clutch pedal full stroke A:

130 — 135 mm (5.12 — 5.31 in)

Tightening torque (Clutch switch lock nut):

T: 8 Nm (0.8 kgf-m, 5.9 ft-lb)


Turn the master cylinder push rod so that clevis pin moves to the left and then to the right. Clevis pin must move without resistance while it is rattling.

Tightening torque (Push rod lock nut):

T: 10 Nm (1.0 kgf-m, 7 ft-lb)

Depress and release the clutch pedal two to three times to ensure that clutch pedal and release fork operates smoothly. If the clutch pedal and release fork do not operate smoothly, bleed air from the clutch hydraulic system.

Measure the clutch pedal full stroke length again to ensure that it is within specifications. If it is not, repeat adjustment procedures again from the beginning.

Clutch pedal full stroke:

130 — 135 mm (5.12 — 5.31 in)

Move the clevis pin to the left and then to the right. It should move without resistance while it is rattling. If resistance is felt, repeat adjustment procedures again from the beginning.

Push the release lever until operating cylinder push rod retracts. Ensure that clutch fluid level in reservoir tank increases. If the clutch fluid level increases, the hydraulic clutch is properly adjusted; if fluid level does not increase or push rod does not retract, replace the master cylinder with a new one.

If the clutch fluid level increases, hydraulic clutch play is correct.

If the clutch fluid level does not increase or push rod does not retract, clutch pedal must be readjusted.

Check the fluid level on the outside of the reservoir tank. If the level is below “MIN”, add clutch fluid to bring it up to “MAX”.

Recommended clutch fluid:

FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid
