INSPECTION
1. CHECK PEDAL HEIGHT
Pedal height from asphalt sheet:
146.2 - 156.2 mm (5.76 - 6.15 in.)
2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL HEIGHT
Loosen the lock nut and clutch switch until the height is correct.
Tighten the lock nut.
HINT:
Before rotating the clutch switch for pedal height adjustment,
disconnect the clutch switch connector.
3. CHECK PEDAL FREEPLAY AND PUSH ROD PLAY
Push in on the pedal until the beginning of clutch resistance is
felt.
Pedal freeplay: 5.0 - 15.0 mm (0.197 - 0.591 in.)
Gently push on the pedal until the resistance begins to increase
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.
5. INSPECT FULL PEDAL STROKE
Full pedal stroke: 132.0 - 138.0 mm (5.20 - 5.43 in.)
6. 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
