Functioning of the clutch cable 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-, approximately 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  Action 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 adjustment mechanism cannot be checked as described in → Chapter it may be out of service due to mistreatment (e.g. if it has been connected to the clutch release lever too tense).
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 drag and thus wear prematurely.
