Clutch Pedal
CLUTCH SYSTEM
10) Depress and release the clutch pedal two or
three times to ensure that the clutch pedal and re-
lease lever operate smoothly. If the clutch pedal
and release lever do not operate smoothly, bleed
air from the clutch hydraulic system. <Ref. to CL-
22, Clutch Fluid Air Bleeding.>
11) Measure the clutch pedal full stroke length
again to ensure that it is within specifications. If it is
not within specifications, repeat adjustment proce-
dures again from the beginning.
Clutch pedal full stroke:
130 — 135 mm (5.12 — 5.31 in) (non-turbo
model)
135 — 140 mm (5.31 — 5.51 in) (turbo model)
12) Push the release lever until the operating cylin-
der push rod retracts. Make sure that the clutch flu-
id level in the reservoir tank increases. If the clutch
fluid level increases, the hydraulic clutch is properly
adjusted. If the fluid level does not increase or the
push rod does not retract, replace the master cylin-
der with a new part. <Ref. to CL-18, Master Cylin-
der.>
13) Push the release lever until the operating cylin-
der push rod retracts. Check that the clutch fluid
level in the reservoir tank increases.
14) If the clutch fluid level increases, hydraulic
clutch play is correct.
15) If the clutch fluid level does not increase or
push rod does not retract, readjust the clutch pedal.
16) Check the fluid level using the scale on the out-
side of the reservoir tank. If the level is below “MIN”,
fill fluid up to “MAX” level.
