Clutch Pedal Assembly: Adjustments

CLUTCH PEDAL

On-vehicle Inspection and Adjustment






1.Check to see if the master cylinder rod end moves freely. It should not be bound by the clutch pedal.
a.If the rod end does not move freely, check that the ASCD switch (if equipped) is not applying pressure to the clutch pedal causing the rod end to bind. To adjust, disconnect the ASCD switch electrical connector and turn the ASCD switch.
b.Connect the ASCD switch electrical connector (if equipped).
c.Verify that the master cylinder rod end moves freely. It should not be bound by the clutch pedal.
d.If the rod end does not move freely, remove the rod end and check for deformation or damage on the rod end. Leave the rod end removed for step 2.
2.Check the clutch pedal stroke for free range of movement.
a.With the master cylinder rod end removed, manually move the pedal up and down to determine if it moves freely.
b.If any sticking is noted, replace the clutch pedal assembly. Re-verify that the master cylinder rod end moves freely.





3.Adjust clutch interlock switch (2) position so that clearance between clutch pedal (1) and thread end of clutch interlock switch (2), with clutch pedal fully depressed, is within specification (C).
Clearance C : 0.74 - 1.96 mm (0.0291 - 0.0772 in)





4.Adjust ASCD clutch switch (1) (if equipped). Position so that clearance between clutch pedal (2) and thread end of ASCD
clutch switch (1), with clutch pedal fully released, is within specification (A).
Clearance A: 0.74 - 1.96 mm (0.0291 - 0.0772 in)
5.Check the clutch hydraulic 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 is noted, repair or replace the related parts as necessary.
b.If any hydraulic system repair was necessary, bleed the clutch hydraulic system. Service and Repair.
