Clutch Cable: Adjustments
Clutch cable adjusting mechanism, checking function and repairing
(5-Speed Manual Transmission 020)
Checking
Clutch cable adjusting mechanism must be undamaged.
-
Depress clutch pedal down to stop at least 5 times.
-
Move clutch release lever approx. 10 mm (0.4 in.) in direction opposite to that of normal travel (arrow).
Clutch release lever must move freely.
Note:
Always depress the clutch pedal at least 5 times before repeating the operational check.
Repairing
If the clutch release lever cannot be moved in the return direction, even after the clutch pedal has been operated several times, it is possible that the
mechanism has been damaged by mishandling (e.g. pulling on the cable casing).
A malfunctioning adjusting mechanism will cause improper adjustment leading to clutch slippage and premature clutch wear.
Note:
-
Replacement of the cable is to be avoided.
-
The clutch adjusting mechanism can be made to be operational again as described in the procedure that follows.
