M/T - Low Clutch Pedal/Difficult Shifting
TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 09-07-31-001
Date: January 08, 2009
Subject:
Low Clutch Pedal, Difficult to Shift (Inspect/Replace Clutch and Pressure Plate)
Models:
2005-2009 Chevrolet Corvette, Corvette Z06
With Manual Transmission
Condition
Some customers may comment on a low clutch pedal. In some vehicles, the pedal may appear to operate very close to the floor. Customers may also
have difficulty shifting.
Cause
The low pedal concern may be the result of a clutch that has prematurely forward adjusted.
Correction
Important:
BEFORE ANY PARTS ARE REPLACED, follow the procedure listed below. DO NOT remove the cover to inspect.
Inspect the fluid level from the side of the reservoir. If additional fluid is required, use only DOT 4 fluid from an unopened container.
1.
Inspect the clutch hydraulic system for damage and leaks. Repair as necessary.
2.
With the engine off, the transmission placed in neutral and the parking brake applied, verify that the clutch reservoir is filled to the "fill line."
3.
If the pedal is on the floor, pull the pedal back to the full up stop and hold for one second. The fill port in the master cylinder is at the very top of
the stroke. If the pedal is not fully returned to the top of the stroke, new fluid cannot enter the master cylinder from the reservoir.
4.
Check the reservoir to ensure the fluid is still full.
5.
Drive the vehicle to ensure proper clutch engagement.
Note:
DO NOT use P/N 24246378 for vehicles with this condition. P/N 24246378 can be used for replacement only in cases where premature
forward adjustment is NOT suspected.
6.
If the cause of the customer's concern hasn't been determined, replace the clutch and pressure plate assembly with P/N 24248985. Refer to Clutch
Assembly Replacement in SI.
