CLUTCH PEDAL CHECK AND
ADJUSTMENT

M1211000900218

1. Measure the clutch pedal height.

Standard value (A): 208.4

±

2 mm

2. Measure the clutch pedal clevis pin play.

Standard value (B): 1

−

3 mm

CAUTION

Do not push in the master cylinder pushrod at
this time, otherwise the clutch will not operate
properly.
3. If the clutch pedal height and clutch pedal clevis

pin play are not within the standard value, loosen
the setting nut to adjust the clutch pedal height
and clevis pin play to the standard value.

4. After completing the adjustments, confirm that the

clutch pedal free play (measured at the face of the
pedal pad) and the distance between the clutch
pedal (the face of the pedal pad) and the clutch
pedal stopper when the clutch is disengaged are
within the standard value ranges.

Standard value (C): 4

−

13 mm

Standard value (D): 105 mm or more

5. If the clutch pedal free play and the distance

between the clutch pedal and the clutch pedal
stopper when the clutch is disengaged do not
agree with the standard values, it is probably the
result of either air in the hydraulic system or a
faulty master cylinder, release cylinder or clutch.
Bleed the air, or disassemble and inspect the
master cylinder, release cylinder or clutch.
