1. Check to see if the clevis pin (3) floats freely in the bore of the

clutch pedal (4). It should not be bound by the clevis (2) or clutch

pedal (4).

a. If the clevis pin (3) is not free, check that the ASCD clutch switch

(1) is not applying pressure to the clutch pedal (4) causing the

clevis pin (3) to bind. To adjust, loosen the lock nut (5) and turn

the ASCD clutch switch (1).

b. Tighten the lock nut (5) to the specified torque. Refer to

CL-8,

"Exploded View"

Verify that the clevis pin (3) floats in the bore of the clutch pedal

(4). It should not be bound by the clutch pedal (4).

d. If the clevis pin (3) is still not free, remove the clevis pin (3) and check for deformation or damage.

Replace clevis pin (3) if necessary. Leave clevis pin (3) removed for step 2.

2. Check clutch pedal stroke for free range of movement.
a. With the clevis pin removed, manually move the clutch pedal up and down to determine if it moves freely.
b. If any sticking is noted, replace the assembly.
3. Adjust clearance (C) while depressing clutch pedal fully.

4. Check clutch hydraulic and system components (clutch master

cylinder, clutch operating cylinder, clutch withdrawal lever and

clutch release bearing) for sticking or binding.

a. If any sticking or binding noted, repair or replace related parts as

necessary.

b. If hydraulic system repair was necessary, bleed the clutch

hydraulic system. Refer to
