Adjustment Procedure
- Apply the parking brake.
- Run the engine at idle speed.
- While you move the shift lever into the reverse position, depress the
clutch pedal slowly and measure the distance between the point when gear noise is
not heard and the point the clutch pedal is completely depressed. The distance should
be 30-35 mm (1.2-1.4 in).
- If the distance is not within the specified value, check the following:
• | Clutch cover and disc pressure plate |
Air Bleeding
Notice: Do not reuse the fluid that has been bled from a system in order to
fill the clutch master cylinder reservoir for the following reasons:
- The fluid may be aerated
- The fluid may be contaminated
- The fluid may contain too much moisture
Bleed the hydraulic system to remove the air which entered when the pipes were
disconnected for repairs. The clutch/brake fluid in the clutch/brake reservoir must
be maintained at the MIN level or higher during air bleeding.
- Attach a vinyl hose to the bleeder plug. Place the other end of the vinyl tube
in a glass container half-filled with brake fluid.
- Slowly pump the clutch pedal several times
- While you press the clutch pedal, loosen the bleeder screw until the fluid
starts to run out. Close the bleeder screw.
- Repeat step 3 until there are no air bubbles in the fluid.
- Fill the reservoir with brake fluid up to the MAX level.
