Clutch Pedal Assembly: Testing and Inspection

CLUTCH PEDAL


On-Vehicle Inspection and Adjustment






1. Check to see if the clevis pin floats freely in the bore of the clutch pedal. It should not be bound by the clevis or clutch pedal.
a. If the clevis pin is not free, check that the pedal stopper bolt or
ASCD clutch switch is not applying pressure to the clutch pedal causing the clevis pin to bind. To adjust, loosen the lock nut and turn the pedal stopper bolt or ASCD clutch switch.
b. Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque. Refer to Exploded View.
c. Verify that the clevis pin floats in the bore of the clutch pedal. It should not be bound by the clutch pedal.
d. If the clevis pin is still not free, remove the clevis pin and check for deformation or damage. Replace clevis pin if necessary. Leave pin removed for step 2.
2. Check clutch pedal stroke for free range of movement.
a. With the clevis pin removed, manually move the clutch pedal up and down to determine if it moves freely.
b. If any sticking is noted, replace the assembly.
3. Adjust clearance "C" while depressing clutch pedal fully. (With clutch interlock switch)

Clearance "C" : 0.1 - 1.0 mm (0.004 - 0.039 in)

4. Check clutch hydraulic and system components (clutch master cylinder, clutch operating cylinder, clutch withdrawal lever and clutch release bearing) for sticking or binding.
a. If any sticking or binding noted, repair or replace related parts as necessary.
b. If hydraulic system repair was necessary, bleed the clutch hydraulic system. Refer to Service and Repair.

Do not use a vacuum assist or any other type of power bleeder on this system. Use of a vacuum assist or power bleeder will not purge all the air from the system.
