1. Clutch System

1. General
A: PRECAUTION
When servicing clutch system, pay attention to the follow-
ing items.
1. MECHANICAL APPLICATION TYPE
1) Check the routing of clutch cable for smoothness.
2) Excessive tightness or looseness of clutch cable have
a bad influence upon the cable durability.
3) Apply grease sufficiently to the connecting portion of
clutch pedal.
4) Apply grease sufficiently to the release lever portion.
5) Position clutch cable through the center of toe board
hole and route it smoothly. Adjustment is done by moving
the outer cable.
6) Make sure not to let the clutch chatter when starting
forward or rearward. If clutch chattering occurs, readjust so
that the bend of clutch outer cable becomes flatter.
B2M1177A
2. HYDRAULIC APPLICATION TYPE
1) Check fluid level using a scale on outside of reservoir
tank. If the level is below“MIN”, add clutch fluid to bring it
up to“MAX”.
Recommended clutch fluid:
FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT3 or DOT4 brake fluid
CAUTION:
Avoid mixing different brakes of brake fluid to pre-
vent degradation of the fluid.
Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to get into the
reservoir tank.
Use fresh DOT3 or DOT4 brake fluid when refilling
fluid.
2) Make sure that clutch fluid does not leak from master
cylinder, operating cylinder and piping.
3) Apply grease sufficiently to the release lever pinion.
4) Check for proper clutch disengagement and clutch
pedal return ability.
G2M0234
2. On-Car Service
1. MECHANICAL APPLICATION TYPE
1) Remove release lever return spring from lever (Models
without hill holder only).
2) Adjust spherical nut so that the play is within the speci-
fied value at the lever end (center of spherical nut).
CAUTION:
Take care not to twist the cable during adjustment
Play: 3 — 4 mm (0.12 — 0.16 in)
Full stroke: 24 — 26 mm (0.94 — 1.02 in)

4) Depress clutch pedal to assure there is no abnormality
in the clutch system.
G2M0970
2. HYDRAULIC APPLICATION TYPE
Bleed air from oil line with the help of a co-worker.
1) Fit one end of a vinyl tube into the air bleeder of clutch
damper and put the other end into a clutch fluid container.
G2M0971
2) Slowly depress the clutch pedal and keep it depressed.
Then open the air bleeder to discharge air together with the
fluid.
Release the air bleeder for 1 or 2 seconds. Next, with the
bleeder closed, slowly release the clutch pedal.
3) Repeat these steps until there are no more air bubbles
in the vinyl tube.
CAUTION:
Cover bleeder with waste cloth when loosening it, to
prevent clutch fluid from being splashed over sur-
rounding parts.
