Clutch operation

Clutch operation

NOTE Proceed as described for the left hand drive version to remove the reverse inhibitor. Note, however, that the bolt retaining the inhibitor also secures the clutch slave cylinder; remove the latter without disconnecting the fittings. It will now be possible to disconnect the reverse inhibitor as shown in the figure.

BLEEDING

Connect the end of a hose to the clutch slave cylinder bleed screw and insert the opposite end in a suitable container. Fill the brake and clutch fluid reservoir, then bleed the clutch system by loosening the bleed screw on the slave cylinder. Simultaneously press down the clutch pedal and allow it to return slowly. Repeat the operation until all air bubbles have been removed. With the clutch pedal pressed to the floor, tighten the bleed screw and remove the pipe.

During the bleeding operation, keep the fluid level in the tank above the MIN mark. Do not reuse fluid drained during the disassembly and bleed stages.

Top up the fluid level in the reservoir and refit the cap. Lastly, check the efficiency of the hydraulic clutch system.
