2. Apply a light coating of grease to the inside diameter of the master cylinder push rod eye.
3. Install clutch master cylinder (1) on dash panel and tighten clutch master cylinder nuts to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.).
4. Install clutch master cylinder push rod pin (3).

CAUTION: Do not allow release lever plunger to pivot more than 2° in either direction in the slave cylinder bore. Allowing the plunger to pivot more than 2° in the bore will cause fluid to bypass the seal and result in fluid leakage.

NOTE: Pull the clutch release lever toward the slave cylinder opening to insure proper seating of the slave cylinder plunger to the release lever pocket.

9. Install slave cylinder (2) and verify cylinder rod is properly seated in release lever.
10. Install and tighten slave cylinder nuts (1) to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.).
11. If new clutch linkage is being installed, connect the clutch hydraulic line to the clutch slave cylinder.

CAUTION: Once the clutch hydraulic line is connected to the slave cylinder, it should never be disconnected.
