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.

NOTE: Check the transmission oil with the engine OFF
and the vehicle on level ground.
1. Remove the oil filler plug, then check the level and
condition of the oil.

The oil level must be up to the filler hole. lf it is
below the hole, add oil until it runs out. then rein-
stall the oil filler plug with a new washer.
lf the transmission oil is dirty, remove the drain plug
and drain the oil.
Reinstall the drain plug with a new washer, and refill
the transmission with the recommended oil to the
proper lever.
NOTE: The drain plug washer should be replaced at
every oil change.
Reinstall the oil filler plug with a new washer.
