Working of clutch cables with automatic adjustment: checking
l  The clutch adjustment mechanism must not be damaged.
–  Press clutch pedal to the floor at least 5 times.
   
–  Move the clutch release lever in the opposite direction to activation -arrow-, approx. 10 mm. The clutch release lever should move freely.
  Note!
t  To avoid premature clutch cable replacement, take note of the following during the checking operations:
t  Press the clutch at least 5 times before repeating the functioning checks.
t  Wait for the moment when the clutch release lever cannot be moved in the opposite direction to actioning before setting up the clutch cable adjustment mechanism.
If the functioning of the readjustment mechanism cannot be tested as described in page 30-5, it may be outside service tolerances due to mistreatment (e.g. if it has been hooked very tensely to the clutch release lever).
Symptom:
The clutch release lever on the gearbox connot move in the opposite direction to actioning even after pushing the pedal several times.
A non-functioning adjustment mechanism makes the clutch slip and thus wear prematurely.
