Inspection and Adjustment

INFOID:0000000010288557

INSPECTION

1.

Check to see if the master cylinder rod end moves freely. It
should not be bound by the clutch pedal. 
• If the rod end does not move freely, remove the rod end and

check for deformation or damage on the rod end. Leave the
rod end removed for step 2. 

2.

Check the clutch pedal stroke for free range of movement.

a.

With the master cylinder rod end removed, manually move the
clutch pedal up and down to determine if it moves freely.

b.

If any sticking is noted, replace the clutch pedal assembly.
Reverify that the master cylinder rod end moves freely. 

3.

Inspect the ASCD clutch switch position and Interlock clutch
switch position

a.

If the rod end does not move freely, check that the ASCD clutch switch and Interlock clucth switch are not
applying pressure to the clutch pedal causing the rod end to bind. To adjust, disconnect the ASCD clutch
switch electrical connector and turn the ASCD clutch switch.

b.

Connect the ASCD clutch switch and Interlock clutch switch electrical connector.

4.

Check the clutch hydraulic system components (master cylinder assembly, CSC) for sticking or binding.

a.

If any sticking or binding is noted, repair or replace the related parts as necessary.

b.

If any hydraulic system repair is necessary, bleed the clutch hydraulic system. Refer to 

CL-8, "Air Bleeding

Procedure"

.

NOTE:
Do not use a vacuum assist or any other type of power bleeder on this system. Use of a vacuum assist or
power bleeder will not purge all of the air from the system.

ADJUSTMENT

Adjust ASCD clutch switch (1) position and Interlock clutch  switch
(2) position so that clearance between clutch pedal  and thread end
of ASCD clutch switch and Interlock clutch switch, with clutch pedal
fully released, is within specification “A” or "B".

PCIB1491E

Clearance “A”

: Refer to 

CL-31, "Clutch Pedal"

.

Clearance “B”

CLUTCH FLUID

Inspection

INFOID:0000000010288558

CLUTCH FLUID LEVEL

• Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the specified

range (MAX – MIN lines).

• Visually check for any clutch fluid leakage around the reservoir

tank.

• Check the clutch system for any leakage if the fluid level is

extremely low (lower than MIN).

Air Bleeding Procedure

INFOID:0000000010288559

NOTE:
Do not use a vacuum assist or any other type of power bleeder on this system. Use of a vacuum assist or
power bleeder will not purge all the air from the system.

CAUTION:

• Monitor clutch fluid level in reservoir tank to make sure it does not empty.
• Keep painted surface on the body or other parts free of clutch fluid. If it spills, wipe up immediately

and wash the affected area with water.

• Bleed the air of bleeding connector (1).

1.

Fill reservoir tank with new clutch fluid.

2.

Connect a transparent vinyl hose to air bleeder of bleeding con-
nector.

3.

“Depress” and “release” the clutch pedal slowly and fully 15
times at an interval of 2 to 3 seconds and release the clutch
pedal.

4.

Push the lock pin (1) of the bleeding connector (2), and maintain
the position.

CAUTION:

Hold it to prevent releasing clutch tube from bleeding con-
nector when fluid pressure is applied in the tube.
