NOTE: For a cruise control problem, check the clutch pedal position switch (see page 4-50).
For an engine cranking problem, check the clutch interlock switch (see page 4-8).
The clutch is self-adjusting to compensate for wear.
If there is no clearance between the master cylinder piston and the pushrod, the release bearing will be
held against the diaphragm spring, which can result
in clutch slippage or other clutch problems.
1. Lift up the carpet (A). At the insulator cutout, measure pedal height from the right side of the
pedal pad (B). 2. Loosen the clutch pedal position switch locknut (A),
and back off the clutch pedal position switch (B)
until it no longer touches the clutch pedal (C).
3. Loosen the clutch pushrod locknut (D), and turn the pushrod (E) in or out to get the specified height (F)
and stroke (G) at the clutch pedal. If adjusting the
pushrod causes the clutch pedal to contact the
clutch pedal position switch, back off the switch
further.
