Clutch Pedal Assembly: Testing and Inspection
CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Turn up the carpet, etc. under the clutch pedal.
2. Measure the clutch pedal height as shown in the figure.
Clutch pedal height Standard value (A): 175-180 mm (7.0-7.1 inch)
3. If the pedal height is not within the standard value, loosen the lock nut and adjust the pedal height to-the standard value using the adjusting bolt
(vehicles without auto-cruise control), or using the clutch pedal position switch or push rod (vehicles with auto-cruise control).
4. Measure the clutch pedal play.
Clutch pedal play (play at the clevis pin)
Standard value (B): 1-3 mm (.04-.12 inch)
5. If the clutch pedal play is outside the standard value, adjust with the push rod.
CAUTION: Do not push in the master cylinder push rod at this time.
6. After completing the adjustments, confirm that the clutch pedal free play (measured at the face of the pedal pad) and the distance between the
clutch pedal (the face of the pedal pad) and the firewall when the clutch is disengaged are within the standard value ranges.
Clutch pedal free play (including the clevis pin play)
Standard value (C): 6-13 mm (.24-.51 inch)
Distance between the clutch pedal and the firewall when the clutch is disengaged
Standard value (D): 70 mm (2.76 inch) or more
7. If the clutch pedal free play and the distance between the clutch pedal and the firewall when the clutch is disengaged do not agree with the
standard values, it is probably the result of either air in the hydraulic system or a faulty master cylinder or clutch. Bleed the air, or disassemble and
inspect the master cylinder or clutch.
8. Turn back the carpet, etc.
