PROCEDURE
INSPECT AND ADJUST CLUTCH PEDAL ASSEMBLY
Lift up the floor carpet to expose the asphalt sheet under the pedal.
| *a | Pedal height adjustment point |
| *b | Push rod play adjustment point |
| *c | Push rod play |
| *d | Pedal height |
Check that the pedal height is correct.
| Standard pedal height from floor panel |
|---|
| for Gasoline |
| 170.7 to 180.7 mm (6.72 to 7.11 in.) |
| for Diesel |
| 185 to 195 mm (7.29 to 7.67 in.) |
Adjust the pedal height.
Loosen the lock nut and turn the stopper bolt or clutch switch assembly until the pedal height is within the specified range.
Tighten the lock nut.
| *a | Push rod play |
| *b | Pedal free play |
Check the pedal free play and push rod play.
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 clutch pedal until resistance begins to be felt.
| Standard 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.
| Standard push rod play at pedal top |
|---|
| 1.0 to 5.0 mm (0.040 to 0.196 in.) |
If necessary, 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 the pedal free play and push rod play are within the specified ranges.
Note
When loosening the lock nut, be sure to hold the clevis in place by its hexagonal portion.
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.
Note
When loosening the lock nut, be sure to hold the clevis in place by its hexagonal portion.
After adjusting the pedal free play and pushrod play, check the pedal height.
| *a | Full stroke end position |
| *b | Release point |
| *c | 25 mm or more |
Check the clutch release point.
Pull the parking brake lever and use wheel chocks to stabilize the vehicle.
Start the engine and run it at idle.
Without depressing the clutch pedal, slowly move the shift lever to R until the gears contact.
Gently 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 |
If the distance is not as specified, perform the following operations.
Check pedal height.
Check push rod play and pedal free play.
Bleed air from clutch line.
Check clutch cover and disc.
