Inspection and AdjustmentNJCL0006CLUTCH PEDAL INSPECTIONNJCL0006S03Pedal StrokeNJCL0006S0301Check clutch pedal stroke by using a 1±meter rule to measure the
total pedal stroke. Place end of rule onto the middle of the clutch
pedal pad. Place a book/clipboard on the driver's seat to set a ref-
erence point, ensure the book/clipboard does not move during
pedal depression. Mark (A) the pedal fully up position on the rule.
Depress the clutch pedal and mark (B) the rule again next to the
reference point on the book/clipboard. Measure the distance
between the marks (A and B), this is the actual pedal stroke (S).
Check the specified pedal stroke in the table, adjust actual pedal
stroke if necessary (refer toªCLUTCH PEDAL ADJUSTMENTº).
NOTE:
+Do not use steering wheel as a reference point, angle gives
incorrect reading.
+Ensure there is no interference between the floor carpet and
clutch pedal when fully depressed.
