Clutch Pedal Assembly: Adjustments
Clutch Pedal, Clutch Pedal Position Switch, and Clutch Interlock Switch Adjustment
NOTE: Check the clutch pedal position switch. Check the clutch interlock switch. 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.
