Clutch: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION
1. While observing clutch slave cylinder pushrod travel, have an assistant depress clutch pedal.
2. If slave cylinder pushrod moves .433 inch or more, hydraulic system is operating properly.
3. If slave cylinder pushrod did not move .433 inch, proceed as follows:

a. Check clutch master cylinder fluid level. The clutch slave cylinder must be installed during this operation. Refill as necessary.
b. If master cylinder requires fluid, check hydraulic system components for leakage. Remove rubber boots from cylinders and check for leakage past pistons. A slight wetting of piston and wall surfaces is acceptable.
c. If excessive leakage is indicated, entire hydraulic system must be replaced.
