Glutch Pedal
Adjustment
NOTE:
. To check the clutch interlock switch and clutch
switch, see section 23.
. The clutch is self-adjusting to compensate for wear.
CAUTION: lf there is no clearance between the mas-
ter cylinder pislon and push rod, the release bearing
is held against the diaphragm spring, which can
result in clutch slippage 01 other clutch problems.
1. Loosen locknut A, and back off the clutch switch (or
adjusting bolt) until it no longer touches the clutch
peoar.
2. Loosen locknut C, and turn the push rod in or out to
get the specified stroke {@} and height (@) at tne
clutch pedal.
3. Tighten locknut C.
4. Thread in the clutch switch {or adiusting bolt) until
it contacts the clutch pedal.
9002)
Turn the clutch switch (or adjusting bolt) in an addi-
tional 3/4 to 1 full turn.
Tighten locknut A.
Loosen locknut B on the clutch interlock switch.
Measure the clearance between the floor board and
clutch pedal with the clutch pedal fully depressed.
Release the clutch pedal 15 - 20 mm {0.59 - 0.79 in)
from the fully depressed position and hold it there.
Adjust the position of the clutch interlock switch so
that the engine will start with the clutch pedal in
this position.
Thread the clutch interlock switch an additional in
3/4 to 1 full turn.

NOTE;
. Use a straight edge and depth gauge.. Measure at three locations and average the read-ings.
Select the prcpet 72 mm thrust shim from the chartby using the formula below.
NOTE: Us€ only one 72 mm thrust sntm.
Shim Selection Formula:
From the measurements you made in steps 4 and 5:. Add distance O lstep 5) to distance @ (step 4).
. From this number, subtract 0.93 (which is themidpoint of the flex range of the clutch housingbearing spring washer).
. Take this number and compare it to the availableshim sizes in the chart.
{For example)
B;2.39
+ C: 0.22- 0.93
2.61 = 1.68
Try the 1.68 mm (0.0661 in) shim.
