3. 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.
4. 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.

5. 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): 30 mm or more

6. If the clutch pedal free play and the distance 

between the clutch pedal and the clutch pedal 
stopper or toeboard 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.
