      *1 Clutch Pedal Stopper Bolt
      *2 Lock Nut
      *a Pedal Height

      Check that the pedal height is correct.

      Pedal height from floor
      172.5 to 182.5 mm (6.80 to 7.18 in.)

    3. Loosen the lock nut and turn the stopper bolt until the correct height is obtained.

    4. Tighten the lock nut.

      Torque:
      12 N*m  { 122 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf }

  2. INSPECT AND ADJUST CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY AND PUSH ROD PLAY


    1. Fully depress the clutch pedal several times while the engine is stopped to remove the vacuum from the clutch booster.

      *2 Lock Nut
      *a Push Rod Play
      *b Pedal Free Play

      Check that pedal free play and push rod play are correct.

      Tech Tips

      Pay close attention to the change in resistance to distinguish between pedal free play and push rod play while performing the inspection.


      1. 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.)

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

        Push rod play at pedal top
        1.0 to 3.0 mm (0.0394 to 0.118 in.)

    3. Adjust the pedal free play and push rod play.

      Tech Tips

      The push rod play can be adjusted by changing the length of the push rod. Pedal free play changes together with push rod play.


      1. Loosen the lock nut and turn the push rod until correct pedal free play and push rod play are obtained.

        Note

        If pedal free play and push rod play are not within the standard range even after adjustment, inspect the related parts.

      2. Tighten the lock nut.

        Torque:
        13 N*m  { 133 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf }

      3. After adjusting the pedal free play and push rod play, check the pedal height.

  3. INSPECT CLUTCH RELEASE POINT

      *a Release Point
      *b Full Stroke End Position
      *c 25 mm or more
      *d Pedal Stroke

      Check the clutch release point.


      1. Pull the parking brake lever and install wheel stoppers.

      2. Start the engine and run it at idle.

      3. Without depressing the clutch pedal, slowly move the shift lever into reverse until the gears contact.

      4. 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 (0.984 in.) or more (from pedal stroke end position to release point)
        Pedal stroke
        143 to 153 mm (5.630 to 6.023 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.
