CLUTCH PEDAL ADJUSTMENTNJCL0006S04Pedal StrokeNJCL0006S04011. Loosen the pedal stopper bolt completely (so there is no con-
tact between pedal and stopper bolt).
2. Adjust pedal stroke to the specified value with the master cyl-
inder push rod.
3. Adjust the pedal stopper bolt until it is just in contact with the
pedal, then tighten the lock nut.
4. Once stroke is set to specification, adjust clutch pedal free
play.
Pedal stroke ªSº.
Refer to ªSDSº, CL-24.
Pedal Free PlayNJCL0006S04021. Adjust pedal free play to the specified value with the master
cylinder push rod.
2. Tighten lock nut of the master cylinder push rod.
+Push on the clutch pedal until resistance is felt, and check the
distance the pedal moves.
Pedal free play ªAº.

AIR BLEEDING PROCEDURENJCL0006S021. Bleed air from clutch operating cylinder according to the fol-
lowing procedure.
+Carefully monitor fluid level at master cylinder during
bleeding operation.
a. Top up reservoir with recommended brake fluid.
b. Connect a transparent vinyl tube to air bleeder valve.
c. Slowly depress the clutch pedal to its full stroke and release it
completely. Repeat this operation several times at 2 to 3 sec-
onds intervals.
d. Open the air bleeder with the clutch pedal fully depressed.
e. Close the air bleeder.
f. Release the clutch pedal and wait at least 5 seconds.
g. Repeat steps c through f mentioned above, then air bubbles
will no longer appear at the damper in the brake fluid.
Air bleeder valve tightening torque:
: 5.9 - 9.8 N´m (0.6 - 1.0 kg-m, 52 - 86 in-lb)
