Clutch Pedal Assembly: Testing and Inspection
CLUTCH PEDALINSPECTION
1. CHECK PEDAL HEIGHT
Pedal height from asphalt sheet:
Standard pedal: 135.6 - 145.6 mm (5.339 - 5.732 inch)
Sport pedal: 136.9 - 146.9 mm (5.390 - 5.783 inch)
2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL HEIGHT
a. Loosen the lock nut and turn the stopper bolt until the height is correct.
b. Tighten the lock nut.
3. CHECK PEDAL FREE PLAY AND PUSH ROD PLAY
a. Depress the pedal until clutch resistance begins to be felt.
Pedal free play: 1.0 - 5.0 mm (0.039 - 0.197 inch)
b. Gently push on the pedal until the resistance begins to increase a little.
Push rod play at pedal top: 5.0 - 15.0 mm (0.197 - 0.591 inch)
4. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL FREE PLAY AND PUSH ROD PLAY
a. Loosen the lock nut and turn the push rod until the free play and push rod play are correct.
b. Tighten the lock nut.
c. After adjusting the pedal free play, check the pedal height.
5. CHECK CLUTCH RELEASE POINT
a. Pull the parking brake lever and install wheel stopper.
b. Start and idle the engine.
c. Without depressing the clutch pedal, slowly shift the shift lever into reverse position until the gears contact.
d. Gradually depress the clutch pedal and measure the stroke distance from the point the gear noise stops (release point) to the full stroke end position.
Standard distance: 25 mm (0.98 inch) or more (From pedal stroke end position to release point)
If the distance is not as specified, perform the following operations.
^ Inspect pedal height.
^ Inspect push rod play and pedal free play.
^ Bleed the clutch line.
^ Inspect the clutch cover and disc.
6. CHECK CLUTCH START SYSTEM
a. Check that the engine does not start when the clutch pedal is released.
b. Check that the engine starts when the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
If necessary, replace the clutch start switch.
7. INSPECT CLUTCH START SWITCH CONTINUITY
Check the continuity between terminals when the switch is ON and OFF.
