WARNING! 
 
Clutch pedal travel must not be restricted by 
extra carpets or floor mats. 
 Do not re-use fasteners that are worn or 
deformed in normal use. 
 Some fasteners are designed to be used only 
once, and are unreliable and may fail if used 
a second time. This includes, but is not 
limited to, nuts, bolts, washers, circlips and 
cotter pins. Always follow recommendations 
in this manual-replace these fasteners with 
new parts where indicated, and any other 
time it is deemed necessary by inspection.
