SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
CLUTCH PEDAL INSPECTION AND ADJUSTM&‘+d+d
1.Measure the clutch pedal height (from the face of the pedal
pad to the firewall) and the clutch pedal clevis pin play
(measured at the face of the pedal pad.)
Standard value (A): 176-181 mm (6.9-7.1 in.)
Standard value
(B): l-3 mm (.04-.12
in.)
2.If either the clutch pedal height or the clutch pedal clevis
pin play are not within the standard value range, adjust as
follows :
(1) For vehicles without auto-cruise control system, turn and adjust the bolt so that the pedal height is the
standard value, and then secure by tightening the lock
nut.
Vehicles with auto-cruise control system, disconnect
the clutch pedal position switch connector and turn the
switch for standard clutch pedal height. Then lock with
the lock nut.
NOTE
When the pedal height is lower than the standard
value, loosen the bolt or clutch pedal position switch,
and then turn the push rod to make the adjustment.
After making the adjustment, tighten the bolt or clutch
pedal position switch to reach the pedal stopper, and
then lock with the lock nut.
(2) Turn the push rod to adjust the clutch pedal clevis pin play to agree with the standard value and then secure
the push rod with the lock nut.
Caution
When adjusting the pedal height or the clutch pedal
clevis pin play, be careful not to push the push rod
toward the master cylinder.
3. Check to be sure that the interlock switch is as shown in
the illustration when the clutch pedal is depressed its full
stroke
[I51 mm (6.0 in.)]. If necessary, loosen the lock nut
and adjust.
4.After completing the adjustments, confirm that the clutch
pedal free play (measured at the face of the pedal pad)
and the distance between the clutch pedal (the face of the
pedal pad) and the
firewall when the clutch is disengaged
are within the standard value ranges.
Standard value (C):6-13 mm (.24--51 in.)
Standard value (D):55 mm (2.2 in.) or more

5.If the clutch pedal free play and the distance between the
clutch pedal and the firewall when the clutch is disengaged
do not agree with the standard values, it is probably the
result of either air in the hydraulic system or a faulty master
cylinder or clutch. Bleed the air, or disassemble and inspect
the master cylinder or clutch.
BLEEDINGM2lFBAD
Whenever the clutch tube, the clutch hose, and/or the clutch master cylinder have been removed, or if the clutch pedal is
spongy, bleed the system.
Specified brake fluid: Conforming to DOT3 or DOT4
Caution
Use the specified brake fluid. Avoid using a mixture of the
specified fluid and other fluid.
