Clutch Linkage: Adjustments

Checking Clutch Play

NOTE: Because of the power assistance it is not possible to exactly determine clutch play by checking at the clutch pedal. Consequently the clutch play of cars with power clutch will have to be checked at the transmission adjusting lever.

- Check whether clutch cable is tight.
- If cable is tight enough. check clutch play with a feeler gauge. if necessary readjusting to 1.0 + 0.1 mm with adjusting bolt.

NOTE: Make basic adjustment if cable is loose (hanging).

Basic Adjustment
Detach clutch cable or loosen completely at holder.





- Adjust clutch play 101.2 + 0.1 mm with a feeler gauge and counterlock adjusting bolt.
- Attach clutch cable.





- Tighten clutch cable at holder until clutch play is 1.0 mm.





NOTE: Clutch cable tightness is correct, if when engaged the release lever just lifts off of stop. If adjusting room on clutch cable holder is not sufficient, also adjust front end at pedals. For this purpose, adjust stop on floor plate so that release travel on release lever is 27 ± O.5 mm.





- Measure release travel:
a) Apply calipers with clutch engaged (see figure) and read distance I (e.g. 1O1.9 mm).





b) Disengage clutch and measure distance II as shown in figure (e.g. 74.7 mm).
c) Dimension I less dimension II (in example, 101.9 mm minus 4. mm 27,2 mm) gives the release travel.
