2. INSPECT SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID
(a) Disconnect the solenoid connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between the ter-
minals.
Standard resistance: 26 − 33 Ω
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the solenoid.
(c) Apply battery positive voltage between the terminals.
Check that the solenoid can be heard operating.
If the solenoid does not operated, replace the solenoid.

3. INSPECT KEY INTERLOCK SOLENOID
(a) Disconnect the solenoid connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between the ter-
minals.
Standard resistance: 12.5 − 16.5 Ω
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the solenoid.
(c) Apply battery positive voltage between the terminals.
Check that the solenoid can be heard operating.
If the solenoid does not operated, replace the solenoid.

CLUTCH PEDAL
INSPECTION
1. CHECK PEDAL HEIGHT IS CORRECT
Pedal height from asphalt sheet:
157.6 − 167.6 mm (6.205 − 6.598 in.)
2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL HEIGHT
Loosen the lock nut and turn the stopper bolt until the height is
correct. Tighten the lock nut.
3. CHECK PEDAL FREEPLAY AND PUSH ROD PLAY
(a) Push in on the pedal until the beginning of clutch resis-
tance is felt.
Pedal freeplay: 5.0−15.0 mm (0.197−0.591 in.)
(b) Gently push on the pedal until the resistance begins to in-
crease a little.
Push rod play at pedal top:
1.0−5.0 mm (0.039−0.197 in.)
4. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL FREEPLAY AND
PUSH ROD PLAY
(a) Loosen the lock nut and turn the push rod until the free-
play and push rod play are correct.
(b) Tighten the lock nut.
(c) After adjusting the pedal freeplay, check the pedal height.
(d) Connect the air duct and install the lower finish panel.
5. INSPECT CLUTCH RELEASE POINT
(a) Pull the parking brake lever and install wheel stopper.
(b) Start the engine and idle the engine.
(c) Without depressing the clutch pedal, slowly shift the shift
lever into the reverse position until the gears contact.
(d) Gradually depress the clutch pedal and measure the
stroke distance from the point the gear noise stops (re-
lease point) up to the full stroke end position.
Standard distance:
25 mm (0.98 in.) or more
(From pedal stroke end position to release point)
If the distance is not as specified.
Inspect pedal height.
Inspect push rod play and pedal freeplay.
Bleed the clutch line.
Inspect the clutch cover and disc.
