WARNING!

Clutch pedal travel must not be restricted by

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.
