INSPECT AND ADJUST CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT
Turn back the floor carpet.
Check that the pedal height is correct.
| Pedal height from floor |
|---|
| 163.8 to 173.8 mm (6.450 to 6.843 in.) |
Loosen the lock nut and turn the stopper bolt until the correct height is obtained.
Tighten the lock nut.
INSPECT CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY AND PUSH ROD PLAY
Fully depress the clutch pedal several times while the engine is stopped to remove the vacuum from the clutch booster.
Check that pedal free play and push rod play are correct.
Depress the pedal until clutch resistance begins to be felt.
| Pedal free play |
|---|
| 5.0 to 10.0 mm (0.197 to 0.394 in.) |
Gently depress the pedal until resistance begins to increase a little.
| Push rod play at pedal top |
|---|
| 0.25 to 0.5 mm (0.01 to 0.02 in.) |
Adjust the pedal free play and push rod play.
Loosen the lock nut and turn the push rod until correct free play and push rod play are obtained.
Tighten the lock nut.
After adjusting the pedal free play, check the pedal height.
INSPECT CLUTCH RELEASE POINT
Check the clutch release point.
Pull the parking brake lever and install wheel stoppers.
Start the engine and run it at idle.
Without depressing the clutch pedal, slowly move the shift lever into reverse until the gears contact.
Gradually depress the clutch pedal and measure the stroke distance from the point that the gear noise stops (release point) up to the full stroke end position.
| Standard distance |
|---|
| 25 mm (0.98 in.) or more (from pedal stroke end position to release point) |
| Pedal stroke |
|---|
| 143 to 153 mm (5.630 to 6.024 in.) |
If the distance is not as specified, perform the following procedures:
Check pedal height.
Check push rod play and pedal free play.
Bleed the clutch line.
Check the clutch cover and disc.
