4DJUSTMENTS
Pedal Free Play
1. Measure the clutch pedal height from the face
of the pedal pad to the firewall. The desired distances
are as follows:
a. Mirage--&6148 in. (168-171mm)
b. Galant -6.93-7.17 in. (176182mm)
2. Measure the clutch pedal clevis pin play at the
ace of the pedal pad. The standard values are as fol-
DWS: a. Mirage--0.04--0.12 in. (l-3mm)
b. Galant4.04-0.12 in. (l-3mm)
3. If the clutch pedal height or clevis pin play are
rot within the standard values, adjust as follows:
Page 288 of 408
DRIVETRAIN 7-9
*When adjusting the clutch pedal height or
the clutch pedal clevis pin play, be careful
not to push the pushrod toward the master
cylinder.
d. Check that when the clutch pedal is de-
pressed all the way, the interlock switch switches
over from ON to OFF.
ADJUSTMENT
# See Figure 42
*The following adjustment is for the cable
actuated clutch system on the Mirage. The
Hydraulic systems on all other models are
self-adjusting.
1. Measure the clutch pedal height (measurement
A). The specificatron is 6.38-6.50 in.
(162-165mm).
*The clutch pedal height is not adjustable.
If not within specifications, part replacement
is required.
2. Depress clutch pedal several times and check
the pedal free-play (measurement B).
3. If measurement is not 0.67-0.87 in.
(17-22mm), adjustment is required.
4. To adjust, turn the outer cable adjusting nut,
located at the firewall, until free-play is within range.
5. Depress the clutch pedal several times and
recheck the measurement.
REMOVALANDINSTALLATION
1. Rotate the adjusting wheel counterclockwise to
loosen the cable.
2. Remove the cable retaining clamps.
3. Remove the cotter pin from the clutch actuat-
ing arm at the transaxle and disconnect the cable.
4. Disconnect the cable at the pedal and remove
the cable from the vehicle.
rln order to prevent cable binding or abra-
sion, be sure to take note of the cable rout-
ing, so that it can be reinstalled in the same
position.
To install:
5. Route the cable and make the connection at the
clutch pedal.
6. Make the connection at the transaxle and se-
cure the cable with the retaining clamp. Install a new
cotter pin.
7. Lubricate all pivot points.
8 Adjust the cable to achieve proper free-play.
REMOVAL &INSTALLATION
I
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove necessary underhood components in
order to gain access to the clutch master cylinder.

3. Place a suitable drain pan under the vehicle to
catch the fluid once the line IS drsconnected, or place
a rag or shop towel under the fluid line of the master
cylinder.
4. Loosen the line at the cylinder and allow the
fluid to drain.
Clean, high quality brake fluid is essential to
the safe and proper operation of the brake
system. You should always buy the highest
quality brake fluid that is available. If the
brake fluid becomes contaminated, drain and
flush the system, then refill the master cylin-
der with new fluid. Never reuse any brake
fluid. Any brake fluid that is removed from
the system should be discarded. Also, do not
allow any brake fluid to come in contact with
a oainted surface; it will damage the paint.
5. Remove the clevis pin retainer at the clutch
pedal and remove the washer and clevis pm.
6. Remove the 2 nuts and pull the cylinder from
the firewall. A seal should be between the mounting
flange and firewall. This seal should be replaced.
7. The installation is the reverse of the removal
procedure.
8. Lubricate all pivot points with grease.
9. Bleed the system at the slave cylinder using
DOT 3 brake fluid and check the adjustment of the
clutch pedal.

a uainted surface; it will damage the paint.
4. Remove the bolts and pull the cylinder from
the transaxle housing. On some 1.5L engines, in-
stead of a pushrod bearing against the clutch arm, a
clevis pin and yoke is used. Simply remove the cir-
clip, pull out the clevis pin and remove the cylinder.
5. The installation IS the reverse of the removal
procedure.
6. Lubricate all pivot points with grease.
7. Bleed the system using DOT 3 brake fluid.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap,
then use a clean turkey baster or equivalent to siphon
out as much fluid as possible and place in a suitable
container. Install the cap.
Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and

wash your hands thoroughly after handling
brake fluid. If you do get brake fluid in your
eyes, flush your eyes with clean, running wa-
ter for 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists,
or if you have taken brake fluid internally,
IMMEDIATELY seek medical assistance.
3. Disconnect and plug the lines from the brake

4. Detach the fluid level sensor connector, un-
fasten the retainers, then remove the master cylinder
reservoir.
5. For vehicles equipped with manual transaxle,

Clean, high quality brake fluid is essential to
the safe and proper operation of the brake
system. You should always buy the highest
quality brake fluid that is available. If the
brake fluid becomes contaminated, drain and
flush the system, then refill the master cylin-
der with new fluid. Never reuse any brake
fluid. Any brake fluid that is removed from
the system should be discarded. Also, do not
allow any brake fluid to come in contact with
a painted surface; it will damage the paint. Measure the brake pedal height from the floor of
the vehicle to the upper surface of the brake pedal.
The distance should be 6.9-7.1 in (176181mm). If
the brake pedal height is incorrect, adjust as follows:
1. Detach the stop lamp switch connector.
2. Loosen the locknut on the base of the stop
light switch and move the switch to a position where
it does not contact the brake pedal.
3. Loosen the operating rod locknut. Adjust the
height of the brake pedal by turning the operating rod
using pliers. Once the desired pedal height is ob-
tained, tighten the locknut on the operating rod.
4. Screw the stop light switch until the it contacts
the brake pedal stopper. Turn switch in until the
brake pedal just starts to move. At this point, return
(loosen) the stoplight switch $-1 turn and secure in
this position by tightening the locknut. In this posi-
tion, the distance between the lower stop light switch
case and the brake pedal stop should be 0.02-0.04
in. (0.5-l .Omm).
5. Attach the electrical connector to the stop light
switch.

luminated with no pressure on the brake pedal.
