1985---88 MODELS
On these models, a hydraulic clutch system is used, Fig. 2. The system consists of a dash mounted master cylinder with integral reservoir, a
transmission mounted slave cylinder and high pressure tubing to connect the two components.
The hydraulic clutch system provides automatic clutch adjustment, therefore, there is no provision for adjustment.
Inspection
1.
While observing clutch slave cylinder pushrod travel, have an assistant depress clutch pedal.
2.
If slave cylinder pushrod moves .433 inch or more, hydraulic system is operating properly.
3.
If slave cylinder pushrod did not move .433 inch, proceed as follows:
a. Check clutch master cylinder fluid level. The clutch slave cylinder must be installed during this operation. Refill as necessary.
b. If master cylinder requires fluid, check hydraulic system components for leakage. Remove rubber boots from cylinders and check for leakage
past pistons. A slight wetting of piston and wall surfaces is acceptable.
c. If excessive leakage is indicated, entire hydraulic system must be replaced.
