CLUTCH PEDAL ADJUSTMENT
To assure full disengagement of the clutch to prevent clashing when shifting gears and also
to prevent the clutch pedal from riding against the floor board, 112" clearance must be
maintained between the floor board and rear face of pedal.
This can be adjusted by loosening lock nut (A),
removing cotter pin and clevis pin (C), and turn-
ing yoke (B) to increase or decrease the clear-
ance as required. Replace clevis pin and cotter
pin and tighten lock nut securely.
LUBRICATION
The clutch throwout bearing should be lubri-
cated every 1,000 miles, using viscous chassis
lubricant applied through the grease fitting on
the right side of the clutch housing.
The clutch pedal shaft bushings should also be
lubricated at intervals of 1,000 miles, using vis-
cous chassis lubricant applied through the grease
fitting on the bottom of the pedal, reached from
underneath the car.
Every 5,000 miles the clutch should be drained and refilled with HUDSONITE CLUTCH
COMPOUND, which is produced in the Hudson Engineering Laboratories, and is available
through all Authorized Hudson Dealers. The exclusive use of this compound is your
assurance of obtaining smooth, even clutch action.
The clutch is drained without disturbing the
flywheel guard by removing hex plug (A) in the
front face of the flywheel. Then rotate the fly-
wheel until the first star stamped on the fly-
wheel face appears in inspection hole over
starter motor and allow the old fluid to drain
out. Turn flywheel until filler hole reappears
and refill with 1/3 pint of HUDSONITE
CLUTCH COMPOUND. Replace plug and
tighten securely.
