INSPECT AND ADJUST CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT
Fold back the floor carpet.
Check that the pedal height is correct.
| Pedal height from floor |
|---|
| for RHD |
| 160.5 to 170.5 mm (6.319 to 6.712 in.) |
| for LHD |
| 157.3 to 167.3 mm (6.193 to 6.586 in.) |
Loosen the lock nut and turn the clutch switch assembly until the correct height is obtained.
Tighten the lock nut.
INSPECT CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY AND PUSH ROD 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.
Depress the pedal until clutch resistance begins to be felt.
| Pedal free play |
|---|
| 5.0 to 15.0 mm (0.197 to 0.590 in.) |
Gently depress the pedal until resistance begins to increase a little.
| Push rod play at pedal top |
|---|
| 1.0 to 5.0 mm (0.0394 to 0.197 in.) |
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.
Loosen the lock nut and turn the push rod until correct 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.
Tighten the lock nut.
After adjusting the pedal free play and push rod 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 (0.984 in.) or more (from pedal stroke end position to release point) |
| Pedal stroke |
|---|
| 150 mm (5.906 in.) |
If the distance is not as specified, perform the following operations.
Check pedal height.
Check push rod play and pedal free play.
Bleed the clutch line.
Check the clutch cover and disc.
ADJUST CLUTCH SWITCH ASSEMBLY
Loosen the adjusting nut.
Adjust the switch position so that the clearance labeled A in the illustration, between the clutch switch and cushion, is within the specified range. Then, tighten the adjusting nut.
| Standard Clearance A |
|---|
| 0.6 to 1.0 mm (0.0236 to 0.0393 in.) |
