CLUTCH PEDAL

On-Vehicle Inspection and Adjustment

INFOID:0000000009478203

1. Check to see if the clevis pin (4) floats freely in the bore of the

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

pedal. 

a. If the clevis pin (4) is not free, check that the ASCD clutch switch

(if equipped) (1) is not applying pressure to the clutch pedal

causing the clevis pin (4) to bind. To adjust, loosen the lock nut

and turn the ASCD clutch switch (if equipped) (1). 

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

CL-9,

"Exploded View"

.

c. Verify that the clevis pin (4) floats in the bore of the clutch pedal

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

d. If the clevis pin (4) is still not free, remove the clevis pin and check for deformation or damage. Replace

clevis pin if necessary. Leave pin (4) 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. (With

clutch interlock switch)

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 

CL-8, "Bleeding"

. 

Clearance (C)

: 0.1 - 1.0 mm (0.004 - 0.039 in)

and Lubricants"

.

2. Connect a transparent vinyl tube and container to the air bleeder

valve on the clutch operating cylinder.

3. Fully depress the clutch pedal several times.
4. With the clutch pedal depressed, open the bleeder valve to

release the air.

5. Close the bleeder valve.
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 until clear brake fluid comes out of the air

bleeder valve.
