- Check the clutch interlock switch. Clutch Interlock Switch Test

- The clutch is self-adjusting to compensate for wear.

- If there is no clearance between the master cylinder piston and pushrod, the release bearing will be held against the diaphragm spring, which can result in clutch slippage or other clutch problems.

1. Loosen the clutch pedal position switch locknut (A), and back off the clutch pedal position switch (B) until it no longer touches the clutch pedal (C).

2. Loosen the clutch pushrod locknut (D), and turn the pushrod (E) in or out to get the specified height (F) and stroke (G) at the clutch pedal.





3. Tighten the clutch pushrod locknut.

4. With the clutch pedal released, turn in the clutch pedal position switch until it contacts the clutch pedal.

5. Turn in the clutch pedal position switch an additional 3/4 to 1 turn.

6. Tighten the clutch pedal position switch locknut.

7. Loosen the clutch interlock switch locknut (H) and the clutch interlock switch (I).

8. Press the clutch pedal to the floor.
