F: ADJUSTMENT
1. CLUTCH PEDAL (2500 cc MODEL)
1) Turn cruise control clutch switch lock nuts until clutch
pedal full stroke length is within specifications.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to turn clutch switch to adjust clutch
pedal full stroke length.
NOTE:
If lock nuts cannot adjust clutch pedal full stroke length to
specifications, turn master cylinder push rod to adjust it.
Specified clutch pedal full stroke: A
145—150 mm (5.71—5.91 in)
Tightening torque (Clutch switch lock nut):
8±2 N⋅m (0.8±0.2 kg-m, 5.8±1.4 ft-lb)
B4M1189A
2) Turn master cylinder push rod so that clevis pin moves
to the left and then to the right. Clevis pin must move with-
out resistance while it is rattling.
Tightening torque (Push rod lock nut):
8±2 N⋅m (0.8±0.2 kg-m, 5.8±1.4 ft-lb)
3) Depress and release clutch pedal 2 to 3 times to ensure
that clutch pedal and release fork operate smoothly. If
clutch pedal and release fork do not operate smoothly,
bleed air from clutch hydraulic system. [W202].>
4) Measure clutch pedal full stroke length again to ensure
that it is within specifications. If it is not, repeat adjustment
procedures again from the beginning.
