On-Vehicle Inspection and AdjustmentNCS00006
1. Check to see if the clevis pin floats freely in the bore of the
clutch pedal. It should not be bound by the clevis or clutch pedal.
a. If the clevis pin is not free, check that the pedal stopper bolt or
ASCD clutch switch is not applying pressure to the clutch pedal
causing the clevis pin to bind. To adjust, loosen lock nut and turn
pedal stopper bolt or ASCD clutch switch.
b. Tighten the lock nut. Refer to CL-6, "
Removal and Installation" .
c. Verify that the clevis pin floats in the bore of the clutch pedal. It
should not be bound by the clutch pedal.
d. If the clevis pin is still not free, remove the clevis pin and check
for deformation or damage. Replace clevis pin if necessary.
Leave pin removed for step 2.
2. Check clutch pedal stroke for free range of movement.
a. With the clevis pin removed, manually move the clutch pedal up and down to determine if it moves freely.
b. If any sticking is noted, replace the related parts (clutch pedal assembly, bushing etc.). Re-assemble the
clutch pedal and re-verify that the clevis pin floats freely in the bore of the clutch pedal.
3. Adjust clearance “C” while depressing clutch pedal fully. (With
clutch interlock switch)
4. Check clutch hydraulic and system components (clutch master
cylinder, CSC, etc.) for sticking or binding.
a. If any sticking or binding noted, repair or replace related parts as
necessary.
b. If hydraulic system repair was necessary, bleed the clutch
hydraulic system. Refer to CL-7, "
Bleeding" .
NOTE:
Do not use a vacuum assist or any other type of power bleeder
on this system. Use of a vacuum assist or power bleeder will not
purge all the air from the system.Clearance C : 0.1 - 1.0 mm (0.004 - 0.039 in)

CAUTION:

Monitor fluid level in the reservoir tank to make sure it does not empty.

Do not spill clutch fluid onto painted surfaces. If it spills, wipe up immediately and wash the
affected area with water.
NOTE:
Do not use a vacuum assist or any other type of power bleeder on this system. Use of a vacuum assist or
power bleeder will not purge all the air from the system.
1. Fill the master cylinder reservoir tank with new clutch fluid.
2. Connect a transparent vinyl hose to the air bleeder valve.
3. Depress clutch pedal slowly and fully several times at an interval
of 2 to 3 seconds and hold it.
4. With clutch pedal depressed, open air bleeder valve to release
air.
5. Close air bleeder valve.
6. Release clutch pedal and wait for 5 seconds.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 until no bubbles can be observed in the
clutch fluid.
8. Tighten air bleeder valve to the specified torque. Refer to CL-11,
"COMPONENTS" .

CSC (CONCENTRIC SLAVE CYLINDER)
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
6. Install CSC tube mounting bolt and then tighten mounting bolt to
the specified torque. Refer to CL-11, "
COMPONENTS" .
CAUTION:
Assemble the components checking that the bracket (A) on
the CSC body and the nozzle (B) closely contact each other
before tightening the bolt. When assembled correctly, the
components should not move beyond the allowable loose-
ness of the connector on the CSC body.
7. Install transmission assembly to the vehicle. Refer to MT-20,
"INSTALLATION" .
8. Bleed the air from the clutch hydraulic system, Refer to CL-7,
"Bleeding" .
