On-Vehicle Inspection and Adjustment

INFOID:0000000005276129

Check to see if the clevis pin floats freely in the bore of the
clutch pedal. It should not be bound by the clevis or clutch pedal.

If the clevis pin is not free, check that the pedal stopper bolt or
ASCD clutch switch is not applying pressure to the clutch pedal
causing the clevis pin to bind. To adjust, loosen the lock nut and
turn the pedal stopper bolt or ASCD clutch switch.

Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque. Refer to

CL-10,

"Exploded View"

Verify that the clevis pin floats in the bore of the clutch pedal. It
should not be bound by the clutch pedal.

If the clevis pin is still not free, remove the clevis pin and check
for deformation or damage. Replace clevis pin if necessary. Leave pin removed for step 2.

Check clutch pedal stroke for free range of movement.

With the clevis pin removed, manually move the clutch pedal up and down to determine if it moves freely.

If any sticking is noted, replace the assembly.

Adjust clearance “C” while depressing clutch pedal fully. (With
clutch interlock switch)

Check clutch hydraulic and system components (clutch master
cylinder, clutch operating cylinder, clutch withdrawal lever and
clutch release bearing) for sticking or binding.

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

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

CL-9, "Bleeding"

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.

INFOID:0000000005276130

CAUTION:

Do not spill clutch fluid onto painted surfaces. If it spills, wipe up immediately and wash the affected
area with water.
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.

• Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank to make sure it does not empty.

Top off reservoir with new recommended brake fluid. Refer to

MA-16, "For North America: Fluids and

Lubricants"

Connect a transparent vinyl tube and container to the air bleeder
valve on the clutch operating cylinder.

Fully depress the clutch pedal several times.

With the clutch pedal depressed, open the bleeder valve to
release the air.

Close the bleeder valve.

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

Tighten the air bleeder to the specified torque.
