Service Adjustment Procedure
Clutch Pedal Inspection And Adjustment
1. | Measure the clutch pedal height (from the face of the pedal pad to the floorboard) and the distance between inner pad and clutch pedal.
Standard value: (A) 243~247 mm (9.5669~9.7244 in.) (B) 167mm (6.5748 in.)
2. | Confirm that the measuring values of the free play of the clutch pedal and the distance between the clutch pedal which is disconnected from the master cylinder and the floor board, are within the standard values.
Free play of clutch pedal (C): 6~13 mm (0.2362~0.5118 in.) Distance between clutch pedal and toe board (D): 39 mm (1.5354 in.)
3. | If the clutch pedal's free play and the distance between the clutch pedal which is disconnected from the master cylinder and the floor board, do not meet with the standard values, it may be the cause, either air in the hydraulic system or a faulty the clutch master cylinder. Bleed the air or disassemble and inspect the master cylinder or clutch.
Bleeding
Use the specified fluid. Avoid mixing different brands of fluid.
Specified fluid: SAE J1703 (DOT 3 or DOT 4)
1. | Loosen the bleeder screw(B) at the clutch release cylinder(A).
2. | Pump the clutch pedal slowly until all air is expelled.
3. | Hold the clutch pedal down until the bleeder is retightened.
4. | Refill the clutch master cylinder with the specified fluid.
The rapidly-repeated operation of the clutch pedal in B-C range may disrupt the release cylinder's position. During the bleeding operation, press the clutch pedal to the floor after it returns to the "A" point.
